Tales of Fashionable Life - Miss Edgeworth (Maria) 6 Volumes Volumes 1-3 - 1824 Volumes 4-6 - 1818 Printed for R. Hunter 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. 2-series collection of short stories which often focus on the life of a woman. The second series was particularly well received in England, making her the most commercially successful novelist of her age. After this, Edgeworth was regarded as the preeminent female writer in England alongside Jane Austen. Following an anti-Semitic remark in The Absentee, Edgeworth received a letter from an American Jewish woman named Rachel Mordecai in 1815 complaining about Edgeworth's depiction of Jews. In response, Harrington (1817) was written as an apology to the Jewish community.
