About this book

A politically-charged satire on Anglo-Irish landlords, Castle Rackrent is a critically-acclaimed and thoroughly enjoyable novel. The social commentary critiques not only class but also gender roles, acutely discussing the marginalization of women in the eighteenth century. In Castle Rackrent, published in 1800, the Irish Catholic bourgeoisie rise to power.
