Miscellanies: Prose and Verse.
London: Bradbury & Evans, 1855-1857.
Four volumes, octavo; an attractive set in original binding of green half calf with red labels, spines gilt.
An eclectic mix of London society satires
Appealing four-volume set of Thackeray, collecting his major works along with more eclectic writings, such as early journalism and stories originally published in serial magazines (such as The Book of Snobs which originally appeared in Punch in 1848). Renowned as one of the great social commentators of Victorian London, Thackeray in this edition offers Vanity Fair alongside other neglected satirical gems including The Fitz-Boodle Papers, Men's Wives and The History of Samuel Titmarsh.
