New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1980 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. Large 8vo. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. (6) 461 pp, acknowledgments, author's note; 28 chapters, postscript, source notes, index. First Edition, 1980. "Thackeray (1811-1863) was said to be the first novelist to hold up a mirror to real life -- not only the underworld of rogues and villians, considered acceptably remote -- but to the middle and upper classes too, who read and reviewed his books and were furiously incensed by this public airing of their own faults and vanities. The originals of many of his most famous characters are shown to have been drawn from the ranks of his family, friends, acquaintances and enemies, and the scenes both heart-breaking and splendidly funny had their roots in his own experiences. His intimates loved him as much for his silliness, his terrible puns and his mad animal spirits as for his wisdom; he was their 'dear, good Thackeray', blindingly honest, both sage and clown." from the jacket flap. Price clipped. Only the slightest edge wear dj, else, Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Red cloth with gilt lettering to spine..
