The Novels Of Maria Edgeworth: Vivian. The Absentee

By Maria Edgeworth

Book Overview

This volume presents two notable novels by Maria Edgeworth: "Vivian" and "The Absentee." Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) was a prolific Anglo-Irish writer of adult and children's literature. She was one of the first realist writers in children's literature and was a significant figure in the evolution of the novel in Europe. Her works often explore social issues and the relationships between England and Ireland.

"Vivian" delves into the complexities of character and the consequences of moral compromise. "The Absentee" offers a satirical yet insightful look at Anglo-Irish relations and the absentee landlord system. Together, these novels showcase Edgeworth's keen observations of society and her skill in crafting compelling narratives.
