Abstract
A space of nine years separates the publication of Castle Rackrent from that of Ennui, Edgeworth’s next major Irish story. During this time she had written Belinda (1802), Popular Tales (1804), The Modern Griselda (1805), and Leonora (1806). She had also been heavily involved in the production of Richard Edgeworth’s Professional Education, which finally appeared in 1809, the same year as Ennui.
