The study of Thackeray's major fiction reconstructs the novelist's
working methods with the help of manuscript material, much of it
previously unpublished. The book's main argument is directed
against the commonplace view that Thackeray was in some way a
'careless' artist. Much that appears casual or unpremeditated in
his work can in fact be explained by the mode of composition which
he developed in response both to the publishing conditions of his
age and to his own artistic temperament. An appreciation of
Thackeray's writing habits helps clear up much of the critical
confusion which has surrounded his reputation in the last hundred
years. A particular feature of interest in the book is the use made
of Thackeray's preparatory working materials. These were widely
dispersed after the writer's death and have never been
comprehensively examined.
