Om denne boken

"Castle Rackrent" by Maria Edgeworth is a short novel published in 1800. Through the eyes of family steward Thady Quirk, the story chronicles four generations of Rackrent heirs who sequentially mismanage their Irish estate through gambling, litigation, cruelty, and improvidence. Widely regarded as groundbreaking, this satirical work is considered the first historical novel, the first regional novel in English, and the first to feature an unreliable narrator. It inspired Sir Walter Scott's Waverley series and earned praise from William Butler Yeats as "one of the most inspired chronicles written in English."
