A Roundabout Manner by William Makepeace Thackeray
The first anthology of Thackerays varied writings as journalist and essayist. With explanatory notes throughout by scholar and writer John Sutherland. Illustrated with sketches and cartoons by Thackeray. A charming gift for fans of Thackeray and Victoriana.
John Sutherland is the Lord Northcliffe Professor Emeritus at UCL. He has been a devoted reader and critic of Thackeray, ever since his tutor, Monica Jones (better known as Philip Larkin’s paramour) encouraged him to read Vanity Fair. His first book was Thackeray at Work, a study of Thackeray’s wonderfully casual creativity. John Sutherland has edited the author’s three major works Vanity Fair, Pendennis, Esmond and his most bitingly satirical minor work, The Snobs of England. John Sutherland has written voluminously on Thackeray for fifty years. `Mr Roundabout’---as he called himself---is a good writer to grow old with.
