Planned to mark the bicentenary of the birth of William Makepeace
Thackeray in 1811, this five-volume critical edition represents the
most substantial collection of hitherto unpublished material
relating to the novelist and his gifted family. Drawing on just
over 1,300 letters in public collections, as well as on
privately-owned documents, this project presents a wealth of
unknown or underused sources that demand scholarly attention.
Whilst complementing the already published volumes of Thackeray's
letters, this important work opens up research on the complex and
often troubled dynamics within the family, providing evidence for a
narrative that suggests elements of psychological disorder, less
than orthodox relationships and transgenerational marriage. Of
particular importance in revealing Thackeray's professional life
are the substantial collection of rediscovered letters sent by
George Smith to the novelist relating to The Cornhill Magazine, of
which Smith was founder-publisher and Thackeray the first editor.
They throw new light upon the working relationship between the two
men in their day-to-day planning for the magazine, and represent
the largest surviving series of letters to Thackeray from a single
correspondent.
