A critical edition of two sharply satirical works This volume of
The Snobs of England and Punch's Prize Novelists is an addition to
The Thackeray Edition collection, 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. In
The Snobs of England, a series of amusing satirical sketches,
Thackeray provides a panoramic awareness of the many varieties of
human folly, identifying snobbery not as a social attitude but as
the unworthy admiration of foolish things. Punch's Prize Novelists
presents a series of illustrated burlesque parodies of Thackeray's
contemporary writers, including Edward Bulwer, Benjamin Disraeli,
Mrs. Catherine Gore, G.P.R. James, Charles Lever, and James
Fenimore Cooper. The works are edited here from a comparative study
of all relevant documents: from the first published appearances to
the last editions touched by the author.
