This volume joins Thackeray’s novel of Queen Anne’s reign, in which Henry Esmond grows up at Castlewood, loves two women of the family and is drawn into a Jacobite plot, with two lecture series: The English Humourists, on Swift, Addison, Steele, Pope, Fielding, Sterne and others, and The Four Georges, on the Hanoverian kings and their courts.
Thackeray’s most carefully crafted novel alongside his lively portraits of the eighteenth century it brings to life, with an introduction by George Saintsbury. Download the free EPUB.
