O ovoj e-knjizi
Excerpt: "Are you to be at Lady Clonbrony's gala next week?" said Lady Langdale to Mrs. Dareville, whilst they were waiting for their carriages in the crush-room of the opera-house. "Oh, yes! every body's to be there, I hear," replied Mrs. Dareville. "Your ladyship, of course?" "Why, I don't know; if I possibly can. Lady Clonbrony makes it such a point with me, that I believe I must look in upon her for a few minutes. They are going to a prodigious expense on this occasion. Soho tells me the reception rooms are all to be new furnished, and in the most magnificent style."

O autoru
Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) was a pioneering Anglo-Irish writer whose works bridged the gap between 18th-century Enlightenment ideals and 19th-century Romanticism. Born in Oxfordshire, England, and later moving to Ireland, Edgeworth was deeply influenced by her father, Richard Lovell Edgeworth, an inventor and educational reformer. Her upbringing in a progressive household imbued her with a keen interest in social issues, education, and gender equality, themes that permeate her extensive body of work.Edgeworth's novels and stories are celebrated for their vivid characterizations and incisive social commentary. She was a trailblazer in children's literature, with works like "The Parent's Assistant" setting new standards for the genre. Her adult fiction, including "Castle Rackrent" and "Belinda," tackled complex issues such as class disparity, colonialism, and women's rights, making her one of the first novelists to address these topics with nuance and empathy.Her influence extended to contemporaries and later writers, including Sir Walter Scott, who credited her with inspiring his own historical novels. Despite her acclaim, Edgeworth was not without controversy; her depictions of Irish life and characters were sometimes criticized for perpetuating stereotypes, reflecting the complexities of her Anglo-Irish identity.Maria Edgeworth's legacy endures as a writer who not only entertained but also provoked thought and debate, challenging her readers to reconsider their views on society and morality. Her innovative spirit and commitment to social progress continue to resonate, making her a figure of enduring relevance in literary history.
