Omslag till R.D. McMaster: Thackeray's Cultural Frame of Reference (PDF)

This study of "The Newcomes" explores the cultural density found within the novel and reveals how Thackeray exploited allusion in order to present an archetypal and cyclical vision of life, questioning the status and value of fictions and blurring distinctions between history and fiction.
