Maria Edgeworth
Castle Rackrent
(The Century Co. July 6, 1903)
Castle Rackrent, a short novel by Maria Edgeworth published in 1800, is often regarded as the first historical novel, the first regional novel in English, the first Anglo-Irish novel, the first Big House novel and the first saga novel.[1] It is also widely regarded as the first novel to use the device of a narrator who is both unreliable and an observer of, rather than a player in, the actions he chronicles. Kirkpatrick suggests that it "both borrows from and originates a variety of literary genres and subgenres without neatly fitting into any one of them".[1] William Butler Yeats pronounced Castle Rackrent "one of the most inspired chronicles written in English".[2][3]
