Reviews
'Brian Hollingworth's Maria Edgeworth's Irish Writing is useful and timely as a sustained study of Edgeworth which surveys her writing on Ireland and allows for a reassessment of how Edgeworth can be understood in Irish terms. In pinning down some of the major linguistic strands of Edgeworth's thought and finding unique ways of relating them to an Irish context, Hollingworth has made a very valuable contribution to future understandings of the oral and the textual, the linguistic and the written, the dominant and the subordinate as constituted by Maria Edgeworth.' - Colin Graham, Irish Studies Review
