Thackeray's Universe |
An amazing book, very dense in its erudition although extremely readable. It juggles with ease the continually sifting worlds of imagination and reality throughout Thackeray's works in logical sequence and their relationship to his own life. Included are 100 of his own illustrations to his novels which in addition serve to illuminate and elaborate on his work and life and also gives the reader unusual glimpses of the many authors with whom he was connected in friendship or rivalry.
