Produced by Jonathan Ingram, William Flis, David Widger and Distributed Proofreaders "Tales and Novels — Volume 09" by Maria Edgeworth is a collection of fictional stories that was likely written during the early 19th century. The volume includes the novella "Harrington," which explores themes of childhood fears and societal prejudices, particularly regarding the Jewish community, as experienced by a young boy named Harrington. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the complexities of young Harrington's mind as he grapples with fears instilled by his maid, notably around the figure of Simon the Jew. This fear shapes his childhood experiences, leading to a vivid interplay of imagination and reality as he contemplates the implications of being taken by this mysterious figure. As Harrington navigates his fears and the narratives surrounding Jews, particularly their negative portrayals in society, the opening sets a stage for deeper reflections on prejudice, understanding, and ultimately, the impact of these early experiences on one’s identity and beliefs.
