About this book

Anthony Trollope wrote this study of William Makepeace Thackeray for the English Men of Letters series edited by John Morley, issued by Macmillan in 1879. He begins by explaining why no full life of Thackeray existed: the novelist had disliked gushing biographies and asked his daughters to refrain from one.

Trollope therefore offers a first chapter of incidents and anecdotes, then turns to the work: Fraser's Magazine and Punch, Vanity Fair, Pendennis and The Newcomes, Esmond and The Virginians, the burlesques, the lectures and the ballads. A closing chapter looks at style and method of work.
