In this classic work of Irish fiction, Maria Edgeworth tells the story of the Rackrent family, a landowning clan in rural Ireland whose fortunes rise and fall with the political changes of the day. With wit and insight, she skewers the social and cultural mores of her time, especially the stereotypes and misunderstandings that existed between Irish and English society. Drawing on her own experiences of growing up in Ireland and England, Edgeworth created an enduring portrait of her native country and its people.
