"The Thackeray Edition" proudly announces two additions to its
collection: Catherine and "The Luck of Barry Lyndon." "The
Thackeray Edition" is the first full-scale scholarly edition of
William Makepeace Thackeray's works to appear in over seventy
years, and the only one ever to be based on an examination of
manuscripts and relevant printed texts. It is also a concrete
attempt to put into practice a theory of scholarly editing that
gives new insight into Thackeray's own compositional process.
Written in 1839-40 for "Fraser's Magazine, Catherine" was
Thackeray's first novel. Although originally intended as a spoof of
the 1830s Newgate school of criminal romance, it has intrinsic
merit of its own for its cynical narrator and roguish heroine, both
of whom harbinger similar creations in "Vanity Fair" eight years
later.
