Autorenporträt
Maria Edgeworth (1767 - 1849) was a prolific Anglo-Irish writer of adults' and children's literature. Born at the dawn of the Romantic era, she was one of the early figures in the development of the novel. Edgeworth's writing often intertwined comedy with social commentary, providing astute insights into the politics, education, and mores of her time. Her unique upbringing, under the tutelage of her father Richard Lovell Edgeworth - an inventor, writer, and member of the Lunar Society - greatly influenced her literary style and themes. Celebrated for her wit and keen observation, Edgeworth's works, such as 'Castle Rackrent' (1800), which is considered one of the earliest historical novels in English, often dealt with issues of estate management, morality, and the contrasts between the classes. She championed education and women's rights in a period when such topics were controversial. Her numerous novels, which include 'Belinda' (1801) and 'The Absentee' (1812), explore the challenges of the Irish society and the evolving landscape of human relationships. In 'Richard Lovell Edgeworth: A Selection From His Memoirs', she honoured the memory of her father not only by chronicling his life but also by reflecting on his influence upon her own intellectual and literary development. Edgeworth's legacy, as both a pioneering female writer and an astute social examiner, remains influential in the literary world.
