About this book

Ormond (Penguin Classics) by Edgeworth, Maria. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780140436440.

An orphan, handsome Harry Ormond has been raised, with a mixture of indulgence and neglect, by the corrupt, hard-drinking Anglo-Irish politician, Sir Ulick OShane. When Ormonds hot temper involves him in a near-fatal shooting, he is sent away to live with King Corny, his guardians kind-hearted, eccentric cousin. Possessing neither property nor fortune, Ormond is determined to make his way in the world like an Irish Tom Jones. Blending issues of moral development with questions about the shape of Irelands political future, Maria Edgeworth emphasizes the importance of education and upbringing, as opposed to inheritance and lineage, in her tale of Harry Ormond.
