The Image of the Big House as a Central Motif in The Real Charlotte The picture of the 'enormous house' has for quite some time been a focal theme in Somewhat English Irish writing. From Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent (1800), it has been a wellspring of motivation to numerous journalists. One of the explanation s for the flood in mansion rackrents (a conventional term utilized by Charles Maturin) through the nineteenth and mid twentieth century, is that numerous journalists who utilized the 'enormous house' as a setting to their work were occupants of such houses themselves - authors, for example, Sommerville and Ross, George Moore and Elizabeth Bowen, were naturally introduced to the authority furthermore, expounded on a time and society with which they were recognizable. Anyway present day authors, for example, Molly Keane and John Banville, have likewise found the sentimental characteristics of the 'huge house' appealing and thusly have kept on utilizing the period and setting as a scenery in their works.
