Set in Ireland prior to its achieving legislative independence from
Britain in 1782, Castle Rackrent tells the story of three
generations of an estate--owning family as seen through the
eyes-and as told in the voice-of their longtime servant, Thady
Quirk, recorded and commented on by an anonymous Editor. This
edition of Maria Edgeworth's first novel is based on the 1832
edition, the last revised by her, and includes Susan Kubica
Howard's foot-of-the-page notes on the text of the memoir as well
as on the notes and glosses the Editor offers "for the information
of the ignorant English reader." Howard's Introduction situates the
novel in its political and historical context and suggests a
reading of the novel as Edgeworth's contribution to the discussion
of the controversial Act of Union between Ireland and Britain that
went into effect immediately after the novel's publication in
London in 1800.
