    THE DOUBLE-VOICED NARRATIVES OF MARIA EDGEWORTH, SOMERVILLE AND ROSS, AND ELIZABETH BOWEN By SARAH MARGARET MALLONEE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Sarah Margaret Mallonee 2 To my grandparents 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My acknowledgements are many and heartfelt, but they start with three people who make every day better than the one before. I start with my parents, then, who most recently reminded me, with a kindness and graciousness unique to them, that they were in this with me ―for the long haul.‖ That it has been. What they signed on for took some time to see to its completion, but for their unwavering, unimaginably strong support, I am totally humbled and forever grateful. John D. Mallonee, M.D. and Elizabeth Heard Mallonee, M.A. set high standards for their children and this has always helped me keep a strong work ethic, a dedication to my goals, and an enthusiasm for all that I endeavor; I thank them for that. In the same breath that I thank my parents, I thank my constant companion, Elliott N. Gamsey, who brings the ―make it so‖ attitude to our lives and readily shares the tenderness, strength, and joy that emanates from his heart and his hands. What I should be most thankful for, I suppose, are the many songs, videos, comics, articles, and bits of news Elliott has used over the years to keep me sane along the way.

Edgeworth was an innovative writer of nu- merous tales and novellas for children and young people, whose work was enjoyed by generations of juvenile readers from the late eighteenth until the early twentieth century. She was also the author of Practical Education (1798), an important manual on early education that broke away from the speculative approach of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the class-specificity of John Locke (both of whom focused their efforts on the education of boys) to create an experimental, scientific pedagogy, based on observa- tions and anecdotes drawn from the experience of bringing up real girls and boys (eight of her half-siblings from her father’s third marriage).1 Edgeworth’s prolific writing for and about children was grounded in a sympathy for young people strengthened by her own turmoil in early childhood: she lost her mother when she was five years old, and her father (a virtual stranger to her) remar- ried within a few months.

Public and Private Meanings in Maria Edgeworth’s Patronage Claire Connolly Announcing her intention to write ‘a big book about England’, Madame de Staël asked Lord Byron his opinion of Maria Edgeworth’s novel Patronage. The conversation occurred in March 1814, just a few months following the novel was first published, at a dinner hosted by the poet and patron Samuel Rogers. Byron responded (in his own account of the evening) by saying that he thought it ‘very bad for her, and worse than any of the others.’i

  • Maria Edgeworth - a Biographical Note
    Published on Great Writers Inspire (http://writersinspire.org) Home > Maria Edgeworth - A biographical note. Maria Edgeworth - A biographical note. Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849). A Biographical Note Maria Edgeworth was the third child and eldest daughter of Richard Lovell Edgeworth (1744-1817) and his first wife, Anna Maria Elers (1743-1777). Richard Lovell Edgeworth was an Anglo-Irish politician, writer and inventor and a leading light of the Birmingham Lunar Society (founded in the 1770s). Maria was born at Black Bourton, Oxfordshire on 1 January 1768. Her mother died of puerperal fever following the birth of a fifth child in March 1773 and her father swiftly remarried only three months later to Honora Sneyd of Lichfield (1751-1780). Maria went with her surviving brother and two sisters to live with her father at the family estate at Edgeworthstown, County Longford briefly before she was sent away to a boarding school in England. She returned to Edgeworthstown in the summer of 1782 by which time her stepmother had died (1780) and her father married again, this time to Elizabeth Sneyd, the sister of his late wife. Maria now formed a strong bond with her father and participated in educating his ever growing family of children as well as managing the estate. Her first published works were Letters for Literary Ladies in 1795 ? which made a vigorous case for female rationality and skills as writers and a collection of children?s stories (The Parent?s Assistant, 1796, but it was Practical Education of 1798, co-authored with her father, that propelled Maria Edgeworth to international fame.

Castle Stopgap: Historical Reality, Literary Realism, and Oral Culture for final version see: 'Castle Stopgap: Historical Reality, Literary Realism, and Oral Culture'. Eighteenth Century Fiction, 22 (1):115-130. Abstract One of the earliest novels set in Ireland to achieve popular and critical acclaim was Maria Edgeworth‟s Castle Rackrent (1800). It is reported that King George III got great entertainment in reading this short novel, which relates the rambunctious genealogy of the various squires who were lords of Castle Rackrent as narrated by the family retainer, Thady Quirk. The delighted King is said to have declared: „I know something now of my Irish subjects‟. It is this issue of knowing, specifically knowing the Irish subject that is the focus of this article, and the argument is made that knowledge and the processes of identification in the novel are ultimately made unintelligible by the gap between the different standards and practices of oral and literary cultures.

Codes of Conduct: Didacticism in the Works of Maria Edgeworth Megan Lockard A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts at Grand Valley State University 2009 Abstract To encounter the novels of Maria Edgeworth is to encounter an author who is not always politically correct. She did not write as a feminist to better the world for women. She did not write in the name of equality between nations or classes. She did not write to promote racial tolerance. In fact, based on her treatment of these issues within her novels, Edgeworth could arguably be accused of antifeminism, imperialism, and racism. Instead, what this late eighteenth-century, early nineteenth-century writer centered her novels around was a rigid set of moral guidelines. Maria Edgeworth used the novel genre as a way to promote her own codes of conduct that she perhaps thought necessary for a world caught in the midst of various upheavals.
