NOVELISTS, FICTION, LIBRARIES, AUTHORS
Abstract

The article presents information about the works of novelist William Makepeace Thackeray. It informs that during his writing career Thackeray wrote six full-length novels and was well into a seventh when he died. Three were historical narratives, set in the eighteenth century: Esmond, The Virginians, and the unfinished Denis Duval. For each of them, the novelist undertook a good deal of research, part of which he stored as notes in pocket books. Thackeray's notebook for Denis Duval, together with the corrected proofs for all that he wrote of the novel, are now held in the British Library.
