First published in 1954, Thackeray is intended as a reminder that
Thackeray is, after all, a great novelist. Professor Tillotson,
admiring the novels as great literature, explores their common
characteristics and those they share with the rest of Thackeray's
writings - for he sees Thackeray's work as all of a piece. He is
particularly interested in Thackeray's methods of narration and in
the philosophic commentary which forms a sort of trellis for almost
everything he put out. He sees him mainly as a writer who, subtle
as he is, address himself to readers honoured as ordinary human
beings. In two appendices, Professor Tillotson deals with two
particular modern opinions - that Thackeray spoiled his novels by
an 'infiltration' into them of his own biography, and that he has
no place in the great novel tradition. This book will be of
interest to students of literature and history.
