About this book
In this original and revealing study of the major novels, Juliet McMaster contends that Thackery is a consummate artist and a highly sophisticated ironist, exploiting to the full the potential of the various personae he adopts, and introducing ambiguity deliberately.

Reviews
‘a welcome contribution to work on a novelist whose reputation has long been bathed in rather equivocal critical light.’ Queen’s Quarterly
Thackery emerges clearly as a master of subtle irony psychological penetration, technical expertise, and moral responsibility.’ Victorian Studies
‘No serious critic will again be able to dismiss Thackery’s artistry without first countering [Juliet McMaster’s] considerable arguments, and no serious graduate student should be allowed to analyze one of the four novels she discusses without coming to terms with her reading.’ Studies on the Novel
