AB This B.A Thesis focuses on some aspects of Maria Edgeworth’s lifework which did notnecessarily contribute to her success as a novelist in the eighteenth century, but are of agreat importance in her career as an educational and realistic writer of literature for youngaudiences. The Thesis presents a parallel reading of two of Maria Edgeworth’s works:Practical Education (1798), a treatise advising parents on how to educate their children,and Rosamond: A Series of Tales (1918), seventeen stories based on a seven-year-old girlcalled Rosamond. With this analysis, the Thesis achieves its purpose of presenting the mostunknown facet of Maria Edgeworth’s career and demonstrates that the theoretical principlesestablished in her treatise Practical Education are applied in Rosamond’s tales. It alsoproves that her traditional recognition as a pioneering realistic tale writer was not in vain.
