Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set in Ireland, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of Thady Quirk, the loyal steward of the Rackrent estate. The story chronicles the decline of the Rackrent family over generations, highlighting themes of social change, class, and the impact of absentee landlords. Edgeworth employs a mix of humor and tragedy to depict the complexities of Irish society and the consequences of mismanagement. This work is notable for its early use of the unreliable narrator and its exploration of national identity.
