Abstract
- The author examines Maria Edgeworth's novel 'Ennui' as a response to Ireland's Rebellion of 1798, one that was intended to disrupt the polarization that characterized political discourse of that era. Its plot format and thematics work to undermine authoritative judgment as both a subject and as a category for contemporary criticism.
