"Backgrounds and Contexts" is arranged under three headings.
"Composition and Publication History" combines modern scholarship
with contemporary materials to elucidate the novel's composition
and publication history and present different aspects of
Thackeray's life and work. "Reception" reprints ten contemporary
reviews, both published and unpublished, that suggest the tone of
Vanity Fair's initial reception. "Contexts" includes materials
relating to governesses, historical novels, the Battle of Waterloo
and the military, bankruptcy, regency fashions, and the London
landscape, all of which figure prominently in the novel.
"Criticism" is a collection of nine essays written between 1900 and
1990 that reveal the developing response to Vanity Fair. William C.
Brownell, David Cecil, G. Armour Craig, John Loofbourow, Peter K.
Garrett, Richard Barickman, Susan MacDonald, Myra Stark, Ina
Ferris, Catherine Peters, and James Phelan provide varied
perspectives. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also
included.
