Description

Castle Rackrent Maria Edgeworth - "Castle Rackrent" is a classic novel written by British writer Maria Edgeworth.

Over the course of several years (the Rackrent men die off in a timely manner), the Rackrents manage to run the estate into the ground, despite exploiting their Irish labourers. Is Thadys dewey-eyed devotion to the Rackrents sarcasm or is he truly one of the gratefully oppressed?The work satirises the Irish landlords of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
