About the Author

S. S. Prawer

Reviews

It is good to have a book of this kind that so thoroughly covers its subject. I have the distinct impression that Prawer has really hunted down and rounded up every last German reference there is in Thackeray and I am glad he has done it.--John R. Reed "Analytical and Enumerative Bibliography, 11.4, 2000, 326-7 "

Prawer s comprehensive analysis is thoroughly researched and convincing throughout. One of the strongest features of his monograph is the skilful mastery with which the author examines the interaction between the different discourses depicted above, as well as their function in Thackeray s oeuvre as a whole. An essential study for scholars in the field of Anglo-German literary relations and the wider domain of cultural transmission.--Susanne Stark "Modern Language Review, 96.1, 2001, 298-9 ""

What Thackeray did not publish Professor Prawer has done for him in this welcome addition to the Thackeray literature.--unsigned notice "Times Literary Supplement, 1997 "
