It shows how Edgeworth employed satiric technique and intertextual allusion to represent discourses of slavery and abolition as a litmus test of character – one that she invites readers to use on themselves. Over the course of her career, Edgeworth repeatedly indicted hypocritical and hyperbolic misappropriation of the sentimental rhetoric that dominated the slavery debate. This book offers new readings of canonical Edgeworth texts as well as of largely neglected works, including: \u003ci\u003eWhim for Whim\u003c\/i\u003e, “The Good Aunt”, \u003ci\u003eBelinda\u003c\/i\u003e, “The Grateful Negro”, “The Two Guardians”, and \u003ci\u003eHarry and Lucy Continued\u003c\/i\u003e. It also offers an unprecedented deep-dive into an important Romantic Era woman writer’s engagement with discourses of slavery and abolition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\t\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-10-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031120770\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-12078-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 121\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44677025595532,"sku":"9783031120770","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031120770.jpg?v=1776084522","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031120770","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
