Book Description
Letters for Literary Ladies (1795) is the first publication of Maria Edgeworth, one of bestselling authors of the early nineteenth century and an eloquent advocate of female education. These fictional letters illustrate the benefits of an education founded on reason and the consequences of an education founded on pleasing others.
About the Author
Although born in England in 1768, Maria Edgeworth was raised in Ireland from a young age after the death of her mother. After nearly losing her sight at age fourteen, Edgeworth was tutored at home by her father, helping to run their estate and taking charge of her younger siblings. Over the course of her life she collaborated and published books with her father, and produced many more of her own adult and children s works, including such classics as Castle Rackrent, Patronage, Belinda, Ormond and The Absentee. Edgeworth spent her entire life on the family estate, but kept up friendships and correspondences with her contemporaries Sir Walter Scott and Lord Byron, and her writing had a profound influence upon Jane Austen and William Makepeace Thackeray. Edgeworth was outspoken on the issues of poverty, women s rights, and racial inequalities. During the beginnings of famine in Ireland, Edgeworth worked in relief and support of the sick and destitute. She died in 1849 at the age of 81.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the virtues and flaws of salon society, a popular fixture and element of 19th century social life. The author pursues this examination through the lens of women specifically, and their experiences within the salon's unique environment. The author posits that women of the 19th century were intentionally excluded from artistic education and public institutions. They were denied access to the same opportunities and spaces their male counterparts were afforded, despite the fact that they were just as capable of producing thought-provoking and beautiful work. The book ultimately concludes that this inequity of access and representation had a profound impact on the broader artistic landscape of the century.
