Description
Harrington, written by Maria Edgeworth in 1817, is a personal narrative that explores the complexities of prejudice and its effects on individuals. A young man's phobia of Jews is instilled in early childhood, but he must confront his irrational fear when he falls in love with the daughter of a Spanish Jew. This novel challenges societal norms and public policy by examining how literary representations shape our understanding of freedom in English society. The Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and a selection of appendices that provide further insight into Edgeworth's work, including correspondence between Edgeworth and Rachel Mordecai Lazarus, as well as excerpts from other relevant texts. By exploring the intersection of literature and prejudice, Harrington offers a thought-provoking commentary on the social and cultural context in which it was written.
