Summary:
"Thackeray's 'minor writings' remain caught in a debate about what
constitutes Literature and whether magazine writing and journalism
might be construed as such. This debate was present during the
inception of the mass periodical press in the 1830s when Thackeray
began his career, and forms part of the context of and reasoning
within, and techniques of, Thackeray's work. Throughout his career
Thackeray was enmeshed in critical arguments about periodicals,
novels, 'realism', and commercialism. He was himself both (and
neither) journalist and literary artist and was at once a product of
and critical of emerging writing practices."--BOOK JACKET.
