Christmas present from my brother-in-law, off my Amazon wish list.
From Goodreads.com:
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.

Thanks so much for your donation flewry!
This book is now part of the 1001-library. If you want to take this book from the library but don't know how to proceed, please refer to the 1001-library bookshelf.
This was donated by me and has been available via the 1001-Library for over two years without being requested, and there are other copies on the shelf, so I am removing it from 1001-Library circulation.
I decided to set this free, because I am downsizing the amount of unread books in my house and am not inclined to read this immediately. Passed along to a fellow Bookcrosser at today's meetup.
Received from flewry at the TC meeting today. Thanks!
