Belinda - Maria Edgeworth Printed for R Hunter 1821 Fourth Edition corrected and improved. Marbled boards with rubbed, half leather binding. Title plate to spine with gilt stamping. All pages clean with only minor foxing. Former owners name to title page of every volume. Belinda was itself in the tradition of society novels by writers such as Frances Sheridan and Frances Burney, who also charted the travails of bright young women in search of a good marriage. Perhaps Edgeworth's best courtship novel, Belinda replaces mercenary fortune-hunting with a deeper quest for marital compatibility, valorising irrationality and love over reason and duty in a way that prefigures Austen's treatments of the same theme.
