Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Classic Tales Maria Edgeworth is claimed by Ireland as the brightest star in her galaxy of authors. She was, however, born in England, of English parents. On her fathers side the family had long been settled in Ireland, having been originally from Middlesex in England, and her ancestor acquired the Irish property in the reign of Elizabeth, late in the sixteenth century. From her mother Maria inherited German blood, as Mrs. Edgeworth´s father, Mr. Elers, was of that nation. Miss Edgeworth herself allowed the claims of Ireland, her beloved Ireland, gladly; and while she saw the faults of the people, she dearly loved the Irish, and was full of sympathy for them in their trials and struggles. She addressed the following lines to the land of her adoption, her home of a lifetime, a few weeks only before her death: - "Ireland, with all thy faults, thy follies too, I love thee still: stall with a candid eye must view Thy wit, too quick, still blundering into sense, Thy reckless humor, sad improvidence, And even what sober judges follies call, I, looking at the heart, forget them all."
