This title was first published in 2000: Thackeray's "minor
writings" remain caught in a debate about what constitutes
"literature" and whether magazine writing and journalism might be
construed as such. This debate was present during the inception of
the mass periodical press in the 1830s when Thackeray began his
career and forms part of the context of, reasoning within, and
techniques of Thackeray's work. Throughout his career, Thackeray
was enmeshed in critical arguments about periodicals, novels,
"realism" and commercialism. He was himself both (and neither)
journalist and literary artist and was at once a product of and
critical of emerging writing practices. This book argues that an
understanding of Thackeray's writings for periodicals and the
literary and commercial context of these is central to an
understanding of his literary achievement. Focusing principally on
the foundational part of his career, from 1833-1847, but relating
this to the novels, particularly "Pendennis" and "The Adventures of
Philip" and the "Cornhill Magazine" of the 1860s, the book explores
Thackeray's ambiguous response to the burgeoning periodical press,
and considers his negotation and critique of the market-place
through a variety of publishing media.
