THACKERAY, William Makepeace.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The Works. A handsomely bound and prolifically illustrated set, with many plates after drawings by Thackeray himself. Modern editions seldom reproduce Thackeray's illustrations in full and "the reader is deprived thereby not only of much amusement but also of important clues to the meaning of the stories" (Ray, p. 75).The set includes Thackeray's major novels, sketches, and essays, such as Vanity Fair, The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, and The History of Henry Esmond. The collected edition was first published in 1869.
