Masterwork Studies Series: Vanity Fair: Twayne's Masterworks Studies, cartea 0157

Autor Edgar F. Harden
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 1995
The subject of Thackeray's Vanity Fair is society itself. This novel presents, along with the broad diversity of human life, the multitude of clearly perceived objects that give concrete definition to the lives lived among them and lead us ultimately to recognise the wide range of values of the people who live those lives. Thackeray's ironic use of the sophisticated narrator to mediate this detail serves as the subject of a substantial section of Harden's study. Three other sections cover the work's Expanding Panorama, its nature as a novel, and Thackeray's ability to balance style and substance.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero, Edgar F. Harden presents the first substantial critical study devoted to Thackeray's masterpiece. Designed to orient the reader to the multiplicities of Thackeray's perspective on human experience, the study commences with a broad contextual overview of the historical, literary, and critical environment shaping Thackeray's life and times. Subsequent chapters deliver a close reading of the novel, paying particular attention to issues of substance and style, the complex role of the narrator, and the elaborate characterizations of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley; detailed coverage is also given to the significance of the serialized form in which the novel was first published. Maintaining that Vanity Fair "calls into fundamental question the value of worldly pursuits", Harden expertly leads readers to a solid understanding of the "Thackerayan perspective" and to a true appreciation for why George Eliot, in 1857, proclaimed Thackeray "the most powerful of living novelists".
