About this book

This is the first authoritative and comprehensive account of the life and career of William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-63), one of the most eminent English novelists. Drawing upon Thackeray's extensive correspondence, memoirs of him by his contemporaries, subsequent biographical studies, and bibliographies of his writings, the Chronology presents a detailed account of his personal and professional life. It includes an invaluable 'Who's Who' section for ready reference.

Reviews

'Harden's new volume constitutes virtually a mini-biography of Thackeray, largely compiled from his own letters, diaries and published works. It includes much useful information on personal and business matters, and sheds light on his writing practices...It is therefore a very welcome addition to the Macmillan series of literary chronologies.' - Catherine Peters, Times Literary Supplement

'Professor Harden's achievements now rival those of Ray himself...an admirable and enjoyable guide to a delightful writer.' - Richard Mullen, Contemporary Review
