		Maria inquired of Ricardo as to his opinion on this matter, for she considered it "of vital consequence to this country," and because she found herself unconvinced by the riticisms of the practice offered by Malthus and J.R. McCulloch.

		Her father was Richard Lovell Edgeworth, who held both an Irish estate and progressive ideas on education, particularly on the shortcomings of female education.

	Maria Edgeworth
		Irish novelist, second child and eldest daughter of Richard Lovell Edgeworth and his first wife, Anna Maria Elers, was born in the house of her maternal grandparents at Black Bourton, Oxfordshire, on the 1st of January 1767.
		Her early efforts in fiction were of a sufficiently melodramatic character; for she recollected one of her schoolgirl compositions, in which the hero wore a mask made of the dried skin taken from a dead man's face.
		The Edgeworths were in Ireland from 1793 onwards through that dangerous period, and Maria's letters, always joyful and natural, make very light of their anxieties and their real perils.

		The educational treatises, handbooks and teaching materials she wrote in collaboration with R L Edgeworth are part of her period's breakthrough in understanding of the world of childhood.
		Acclaimed as the pioneer novel in English, Edgeworth demonstrates a sparkling sensitivity to her complex range of characters: her field here is the life of the 'big house' late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Ireland, seen through the declining Rackrents and the self-reforming Lord Glenthorn.
		The Edgeworth's educational method was worked out within a large family, not by R L Edgeworth alone but by a team including three of his four wives and several of his older children, headed by Maria.

		Edgeworth's "range of final settlements" was later resurrected by Martin Shubik (1959) as the game-theoretic concept of "the core".

		Edgeworth also set the utilitarian foundations for highly progressive taxation, arguing that the optimal distribution of taxes should be such that "the marginal disutility incurred by each taxpayer should be the same" (Edgeworth, 1897).

		Edgeworth, who was as usual busy building church spires for himself and other people, abandoned his engineering for a time to criticise his daughter's story, and he advised that the conclusion of THE ABSENTEE should be a letter from Larry the postilion.

		Both Scott, with his historical popularizations and fictionalizations of Scottish history, and Edgeworth, with her tales of Anglo-Irish landlords on their Irish estates, were seen as developing the distinct narrative style of the national tale, a popular Romantic genre of the novel set in the Celtic regions of the British Isles.
		Recorded as evidence of Scott's declining mental faculties (he was, after all, a personal friend of Edgeworth's), the anecdote nonetheless is suggestive of the gender dynamics behind Scott's position as canonical novelist.
		Edgeworth's approach to the national tale differs from the historical sleights-of-hand that mark Scott's engagement with the form.

		To say that Maria Edgeworth herself holds really an outlying position in the group of revolutionary novelists may seems absurd to some readers; but there are others who will take the statement as a mere matter of course.
		In both temper and temperament, no one could have less of the revolutionary spirit; but the influence of the time, and, still more, that of her father, coloured the whole of her earlier and middle work.
		But, fortunately, Miss Edgeworth’s native genius (we need not be afraid to use the word in regard to her, though Scott may have been too liberal in applying it to Bage) did not allow itself to be wholly suppressed either by her French models or by her father’s interference.

		Maria Edgeworth's "Castle Rackrent," published in 1800, the year of Irish union with Great Britain, and just two years after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, is supposedly a comic satire intended to show after years of unrest, that the Irish were civil enough to be assimilated into the British Empire.
		Edgeworth wrote about the protestant upper class in Ireland around the turn of the 18th/19th century.
		Edgeworth's Ormond is a great book, comparable to the best of Scott and Austen.
