Castle Rackrent is widely regarded as the first historical novel—as well as the first novel to feature a narrator who is an unreliable observer of the story. Set in England, the narrative is told by the steward of the Rackrent heirs, Thady Quirk. As the four heirs mismanage their money in various ways, Thady’s son Jason devises a plan to make the entire fortune his.
