いまは小説家として(とくにCastle Rackrent (1800)の作家として)知られるマライア・エッジワース Maria Edgeworth, 1768-1849 が父親のリチャードと共著で18世紀末に著わした本の、アメリカでの再刊本。ジャン・ジャック・ルソーの教育論とジョン・ロックの人間論を反映していると いわれます。この父娘の関係もウィリアム・ゴドウィンとメアリー・シェリーのように、また、ブロンソン・オルコットとルイーザ・メイ・オルコットのように(創作に絡んで)複雑そうで興味深いのですが(「醜いわが子――子らよのパート3 My Hideous Progeny: My Chillun, Part 3」参照)、それはまたどこかで。

Letters for Literary Ladies, to Which Is Added, an Noble Science of Self-Justification. London: J. Johnson, 1795. マライア・エッジワースの処女作。書簡体のプロパガンダ。ウィキペディアの記事を引いておきます。――Edgeworth's first published work was Letters for Literary Ladies in 1795. Her work, "An Essay on the Noble Science of Self-Justification" (1795) is written for a female audience in which she convinces women that the fair sex is endowed with an art of self-justification and women should use their gifts to continually challenge the force and power of men, especially their husbands, with wit and intelligence. It humorously and satirically explores the feminine argumentative method.[14] This was followed in 1796 by her first children's book, The Parent's Assistant (which included Edgeworth's celebrated short story The Purple Jar). The Parent's Assistant was influenced by her father's work and perspectives on childrens education.[3]
