Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Makepeace Thackeray, Vol. 1 of 2: A Biography Including Hitherto Uncollected Letters Speeches A Bibliography of 1300 Items Ten yeats have passed since I published a biography of Thackeray. This has been out of print for a long time, and Messrs. Hutchinson and Company have generously restored to me their rights in that book. The present Life, however, is not a reprint, nor a revised edition of the previous one, but an entirely new work, the writing of which, together with the collateral reading, has occupied the leisure of several years. Though I am only too well aware how much better the task might have been carried out, at least I can claim that this is an improvement upon the earlier work. "When a man has exercised a large influence on the minds of his contemporaries, the world requires to know whether his own actions have corresponded with his teaching, and whether his moral and personal character entitled him to confidence. This is not idle curiosity: it is a legitimate demand." So says Froude in his preface to the life of Carlyle, and there are few who will care to dispute the point. When my biography of Thackeray was published in 1899, there was some discussion as to whether it should have been written, for it was said that Thackeray had desired there should be no biography of him.
