"Comic scenes from public and private life Thackeray's satirical stories of domestic folly and social climbing - from the downfall of Bob Stubbs the schoolboy fortune-hunter to the self-imposed misfortunes of the ludicrously genteel Timmins family - mocked with good humour a generation of pretentious hypocrites. Whether he joined a crowd of forty thousand spectators at the gallows, or dined with fat burghers at the Lord Mayor's feast, his amusement produced amongst the wittiest - and most savage - lampoons in English. The most comprehensive paperback edition available, with introduction, notes, selected criticism and chronology of Thackeray's life and times"
