Patronage - Miss (Maria) Edgeworth Printed for R. Hunter 1815 4 Volume set. Marbled boards with rubbed, half leather binding. Title plate to spine with gilt stamping. All pages clean with only minor foxing. v.1 p 342 - small closed thumb tear to top of page. Former owners name to title page of every volume. Third edition with a preface to such defending the complaints that arose from the first two editions. Four volume fictional work by Anglo-Irish writer Maria Edgeworth, originally published in 1814. It is one of her later books, after such successes as Castle Rackrent, Belinda, Leonora and The Absentee. The novel is a long and ambitious one which she began writing in 1809. It is the longest of her novels. Patronage as a book is path-making; it was among the first novels with a thesis and as such, it opened the way for Sir Walter Scott's historical novels. In the novel, Edgeworth focuses on and scrupulously explores the various types of patronage and the many forms it takes in all strata of English society. The plot is made up of many incidents, great and small, that take the reader through a wide range of situations. Edgeworth was eldest daughter of Richard Lovell Edgeworth, the Anglo-Irish politician, writer and inventor who had 21 other children with four wives. This book received the imprimatur of her famous father when published.
