(During the 1790s, with Ireland in political crisis, Maria Edgeworth made a surprisingly rebellious choice: in Castle Rackrent, her first novel, she adopted an Irish Catholic voice to narrate the decline of a family from her own Anglo-Irish class. With this satire on Anglo-Irish landlords Edgeworth pioneered the regional novel and inspired Sir Walter Scott's Waverly (1814). She also changed the focus of conflict in Ireland from religion to class and boldly predicted the rise of the Irish Catholic Bourgeoisie)

Reseña del editor:
"Castle Rackrent" chronicles the oftenly hopelessly dissolute and debauched lives of the landowning Rackrent family, whilst the second novel, "The Absentee", in this collected book, set in rural Ireland and London society attacks the evils of absentee ownership and the wrongs that spring from it.
