"Rackrent Castle" is a novel by the Irish writer Maria Edgeworth, which was published in 1800. This is a story about the pernicious influence of English feudalism on Irish society, a tale of family intrigue, betrayal and power.
The author conveys the unique atmosphere and customs of Irish society and reveals the history of the Rakrent family, which suffered almost complete hetmanship due to its ill-considered actions. The main character, Telly Gervais, tells the story of the life of her family and the suffering that befell them.
"Rackrent Castle" is not only an interesting literary work, but also a deep social allegory that reveals the wealth and tragedy of Irish society at the beginning of the 19th century.
