Too many memoirs begin with tradition; to trace a subject ab ovo seems to have a fatal attraction for the human mind. It is not needful to retrace so far in speaking of Miss Edgeworth; but, for a right understanding of her life and social position, it is necessary to say some words about her ancestry. Of her family and descent she might well be proud, if ancestry alone, apart from the question whether those ancestors of themselves merit the admiration of their descendants, be a legitimate source of pride.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. very helpful 19th century biography By Ruellia Review, Monday, September 9, 2013Monday, September 9, 2013This was a vivid, well told biography that helps you get straight on Maria Edgeworth's 21 siblings, her 3 stepmothers and numerous cousins. The descriptions of her visits to Paris and London are particularly good. It is worth reading for the extensive quotation from Maria's letters about her visit to Mme de Genlis alone, which shows how powerful a writer Maria could have been. It also includes a great quote from Byron's journal describing Maria and her father.Zimmern goes through all of the novels in detail with interesting critical appraisals. I completely disagree with her dismissal of _Harrington_ which is a brilliant and very effective novel, and I would not praise _Helen_ as highly as she does, but I found Zimmern's critical appraisals sensitive, thoughtful, and interesting. She addressess Maria Edgeworth's father's rewriting and "correcting" Maria's work at length.This is a very helpful book for those looking for background and information on Maria Edgeworth, especially as there is so little about her and the price is right!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting biography By tesajeni This was an interesting biography of Maria Edgeworth, an 18th century author. I read this because Jane Austin wrote that she read every book by Maria Edgeworth. Edgeworth is no where near the talent that Jane Austin was but it was interesting to read about how and why she wrote at a time when few women did.
