Book Information About the book Reviews Laughing Feminism Subvesive Comedy in Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, and Jane Austen Audrey Bilger Laughing Feminism focuses on comedy in the works of Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, and Jane Austen, authors who scrutinized the subjected prejudices against women in order to expose their absurdity and encourage readers to laugh at the folly of sexist views. Audrey Bilger shows that these women writers employed a full arsenal of comic weapons such as satire, burlesque, and parody to combat patriarchal nonsense and make comedy out of the discrepancies between the myth and reality of womanhood. Bilger draws on current feminist criticism, comic theory, and the methodologies of literary history to provide a context for re-assessing the novels of these writers. At a time when overt feminist statements could ruin a woman's reputation, comedy enabled these authors to smuggle feminism into their writing. "Laughing Feminism "Bilger's refreshingly irreverent interpretation of scenes that have vexed more squeamish critics exemplifies a very American brand of feminism. . . ."

63. MARIA EDGEWORTH ON SCOTT Entry from Andrew Monnickendam s website regarding the relationship between these writers. http://seneca.uab.es/scott/MARIAEDG.HTM

EDGEWORTH ON SCOTT In October 1814, Maria Edgeworth wrote a letter to James Ballantyne which was passed on to the author of Waverley. The fact that the letter carried the motto "Aut Scotus, aut Diabolus" (Scott or the Devil) and that Ballantyne's reply concludes with information about Scott's future publication indicates that the pretence of anonymity just didn't matter. She dislikes the interpolations but approves of the 'beautiful descriptions of nature', and above all of the characterisations of 'the various gradations of Scotch feudal character'. Little mention is made of Rose and less of Waverley himself. It is clearly the peripheral which interests her. Scott and Maria Edgeworth corresponded till 1830 on almost every subject: on literature, on the fate of the poor, on domestic, intimate matters and on the visits each made to the other's country. Lockhart describes the visit made to Abbotsford like this: Vol. IV, 120 The next month - August 1823 - was one of the happiest in Scott's life. Never did I see a brighter day at Abbotsford than that on which Miss Edgeworth first arrived there- never can I forget her look and accent when she was received by him at his archway, and exclaimed, 'Everything about you is exactly what one ought to have wit enough to dream'. What is curious is that even though this was a remarkable event in Scott's life, cementing a firm friendship, Lockhart gets the visit over and done with as soon as possible: a paragraph suffices. Even stranger then, is Lockhart's affirmation, made while dealing with Scott's visit to Edgeworthstown, that

Shop Books Send E-Cards Posters The Absentee by Maria Edgeworth Notes on 'The Absentee Miss Edgeworth's own letters all about this time are much more concerned with sociabilities than with literature. We read of a pleasant dance at Mrs. Burke's; of philosophers at sport in Connemara; of cribbage, and company, and country houses, and Lord Longford's merry anecdotes during her visit to him. Miss Edgeworth, who scarcely mentions her own works, seems much interested at this time in a book called MARY AND HER CAT, which she is reading with some of the children. Little scraps of news (I cannot resist quoting one or two of them) come in oddly mixed with these personal records of work and family talk. 'There is news of the Empress (Marie Louise), who is liked not at all by the Parisians; she is too haughty, and sits back in her carriage when she goes through the streets. 'Of Josephine, who is living very happily, amusing herself with her gardens and her shrubberies.' This ci-devant Empress and Kennedy and Co., the seedsmen, are in partnership, says Miss Edgeworth. And then among the lists of all the grand people Maria meets in London in 1813 (Madame de Stael is mentioned as expected), she gives an interesting account of an actual visitor, Peggy Langan, who was grand-daughter to Thady in CASTLE RACKRENT. Peggy went to England with Mrs. Beddoes, and was for thirty years in the service of Mrs. Haldimand we are told, and was own sister to Simple Susan.

SYM=GetSymbol('BIO'); Biography More by Maria Edgeworth Image Information Maria Edgeworth Maria Edgeworth was born in 1768, the eldest daughter of Richard Lovell Edgeworth, an inventive Anglo-Irish landowner, and his first wife, Anna Maria Elers. After the death of his first wife, Richard Edgeworth married three more times, producing a family of twenty-two children. Maria was educated in England until the age of fourteen, and after she came back to live in Edgeworthstown, County Longford, her life became considerably influenced by the educational and scientific interests of her father, who encouraged her writing and whom she assisted in his writing and in managing the estate. A writer of considerable reputation, both literary and moral, her work was admired by many of the significant literary figures of her day, most notably by Sir Walter Scott, who cited her work as a major influence on his books. A pioneer of both the regional and historical novel (though she liked to refer to her books as 'tales', considering 'novels' morally suspect) she was commercially very successful. Her first novel, Castle Rackrent (1800) was also her first Irish tale. The next such tale was Ennui (1809), after which came The Absentee, which began life as an unstaged play and was then published (in prose) in Tales of Fashionable Life (1812), as were several of her other stories. They were followed in 1817 by the last of her Irish tales, Ormond. Edgeworth wrote widely, her other work including a defence of women's education in Letters for Literary Ladies (1795), Practical Education (1798) which she wrote with her father, stories for and about children, and novels of manners such as Belinda (1801), Leonora (1806), Patronage (1814) and Helen (1834).

However, it was subjected to wider than usual editing by her father, Richard Lovell Edgeworth.

Accueil Structure Chercheurs Réalisations ... Alizés n°16 Masters and Pupils: Anglo-Irish Relations in Maria Edgeworth’s Ennui opyright 1998 Alizés — ISSN : 1155-4363 P erhaps the most important question which Maria Edgeworth addresses in her novel Ennui (1809) is the uncertainty surrounding Anglo-Irish identity at a time in history when the labels of English and Irish seemed to be antithetical. Though Ennui is a work of fiction, it is a novel firmly grounded in the first-hand experience of the author, whose family received six hundred acres of land from James I, as part of a program to settle English Protestants on land confiscated from Irish Catholics (Kowaleski-Wallace 141). Maria and her father believed very strongly in controlling the tenants through benevolent reform, and Ennui takes this position as its thesis. Edgeworth calls into question the validity of racial origin as the sole determinant of inheritance, and suggests that the leaders of society must not only be born, but bred to lead as well. Inheritance by right of birth cannot succeed by itself; “character, education, and experience” must also enter into the equation (Colgan 37). Barry Sloan argues that Edgeworth takes up the discussion of Anglo-Irish identity without falling into stereotypes, and makes a “serious endeavour to explore certain critical aspects of Irish life without caricature or contempt” (2). While Edgeworth is charitable toward her characters, both English and Irish, one finds that in fact she makes frequent use of stereotype and caricature; though the caricatures often balance one another
