Abstract:
The life of Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) was characterised by one event which was to have a lasting influence on her self-determination as a person and a writer. This event was her move in 1782 to Edgeworthstown, a small village in County Longford, Ireland, where her father's estate was situated. This thesis argues that the relationship which developed between Edgeworth and her new place of residence in the Irish midlands is vital to our understanding of her life and works. It explores the multiple ways in which her life in Edgeworthstown affected Edgeworth's development as an individual and a writer and charts her changing sense of place.
