The heroine of the title, only too conscious of being 'advertised' on the marriage market, grows in moral maturity as she seeks to balance self-fulfilment with achieving material success. Among those whom she encounters are the socialite Lady Delacour, whose brilliance and wit hide a tragic secret, the radical feminist Harriot Freke, the handsome and wealthy Creole gentleman Mr Vincent, and the mercurial Clarence Hervey, whose misguided idealism has led him into a series of near-catastrophic mistakes. In telling their story Maria Edgeworth gives a vivid picture of life in late eighteenth-century London, skilfully showing both the attractions of leisured society and its darker side, and blending drawing-room comedy with challenging themes involving serious illness, obsession, slavery and interracial marriage.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Oxford World's ClassicsGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Fiction, Classic Fiction, Society & Culture, Gender Sex & RelationshipsAuthor: Maria EdgeworthItem Weight: 390gRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
