Maria Edgeworth Letters

Maria Edgeworth was a remarkable individual who was in many ways ahead of her time. She wrote learned texts on educational practices and was a prolific writer of tales and novels. She attempted to correct and atone for her prejudices. Her correspondence reveals her liberal-mindedness, curiosity, and interests in the natural sciences and politics. And her novels are - even 200 years later - immensely enjoyable reads.
