""Letters for Literary Ladies"" is a collection of letters written by the renowned Irish author Maria Edgeworth. Originally published in 1795, the book is a series of fictional letters addressed to young women who aspire to be writers. In these letters, Edgeworth provides advice on various aspects of writing, including style, character development, and plot construction. She also offers guidance on how to navigate the literary world, including how to deal with criticism and rejection. The book is considered an important work in the history of women's writing and provides insight into the challenges faced by female writers in the late 18th century. Edgeworth's advice is still relevant today and makes this book a valuable resource for aspiring writers.Your tastes, you say, are fixed; if they are so, you must be doubly careful to ensure their gratification. If you cannot make them subservient to external circumstances, you should certainly, if it be in your power, choose a situation in which circumstances will be subservient to them. If you are convinced that you could not adopt the tastes of another, it will be absolutely necessary for your happiness to live with one whose tastes are similar to your own.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
