Description
"'A modern equivalent of the C.H.E.L.(i.e. Cambridge history of English literature) bibliographies ... A few of the lists have been revised and incorporated here, but for the most part the C.B.E.L.is a distinct entity with its own arrangement, scope and style, and its own army of contributors.'"
Author
Description
With her satire on Anglo-Irish landlords in Castle Rackrent (1800), Maria Edgeworth pioneered the regional novel and inspired Sir Walter Scott's Waverley (1814). Politically risky, stylistically innovative, and wonderfully entertaining, the novel changes the focus of conflict in Ireland from religion to class, and boldly predicts the rise of the Irish Catholic bourgeoisie.
