Wheatley: Patterns Thackerays Fiction - Tapa blanda

"Mr. Wheatley's book brings to bear on Thackeray, a rather modern critical intelligence--alert to the pressures of form on the developing significances of the novel, quick to penetrate the disguises of the narrative voice."-- "Novel" "Wheatley proceeds from an examination of Thackeray's exploitation of style, the form of expression that fits the meaning, to a thematic study of the importance of roles, the outward and visible forms with which Thackeray's characters clothe themselves so completely, and of the relation of those roles to the self."-- "Victorian Studies"
