London: Bradbury & Evans, 1885. Cloth. Good Only. 7.5" by 5". None. A charming edition of W M Thackeray's Miscellanies. A Victorian English novelist, William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) was famous for his satirical works that portrayed English society. Thackeray only began writing when he lost his fortune in a banking crash, describing his journalism as "writing for his life". However he was a popular writer and became known for his pieces in various magazines and is known to have popularised the word 'snob'. Here we have a collection of some of his best works that parody and attack high society, military prowess, and marriage and hypocrisy.
