Belinda by Maria Edgeworth, Kathryn Kirkpatrick

4.0

I read this book for my bachelor thesis, which I am going to write on feminist writers in the 1790s and around 1800. Like a lot of books from around that period, this book was tedious at times. Knowing Austen was an admirer of Edgeworth, however, is clear, if you've read some Austen already. In a way, this novel was a bit more ingeniously put together than most of Austen's novels and I was very surprised at how everything came together in the last 60 pages. I am sure this novel will become even more interesting to me as I start my research!
