DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Philip Firmin, son of Dr. Brand Firmin and of Lord Ringwood's wealthy niece, has been left a fortune at the death of his mother. He discovers that his father is being blackmailed by Tufton Hunt, a clergyman who once performed a sham marriage ceremony between Brandon and Caroline Gann (as related in A Shabby Genteel Story). Hunt now claims that the marriage was in fact valid, and urges Caroline to assert her rights and disinherit Philip by proving him illegitimate. Caroline, who is now working as a nurse and in this capacity has brought Philip through a serious illness, refuses to do this. Dr Firmin loses Philip's money and his own through unwise speculation and flees to America, and Philip's fiancée Agnes Twysden renounces him in favour of a wealthier rival. Philip now meets General Baynes, one of the trustees of his lost fortune, and falls in love with the General's daughter Charlotte. He marries her, in the teeth of her mother's opposition, and struggles to support her by becoming a journalist. His troubles are ended when the lost will of his great-uncle, Lord Ringwood, is discovered, and he is found to be the heir to the old man's riches.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →These two volumes are intended as a supplement to the four-volume edition edited by the late Gordon N. Ray and published by Harvard U. Press and Oxford U. Press in 1945-46. They contain much important material, especially the 350 letters to Thackeray's publishers: Fraser, Bentley, Chapman and Hall, and particularly Bradbury and Evans and Smith. Thackeray's letters to women are especially interesting, for here he expresses his emotions and personality to an unparalleled extent. The letters, addressed to recipients from Ivan Turgenev and Giuseppe Garibaldi to Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope, and to such friends as the Thomas Carlyles, reflect Thackeray's wide acquaintance with people of different backgrounds and social stations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →These letters have been selected according to their ability to convey the essential biographical developments of a very interesting life, and their ability to represent highly characteristic verbal and pictorial expressions of a great man of letters. In spite of his struggles, Thackeray articulates in his letters an exhuberance characteristic of one of the great enjoyers of life. Seventy five of his comical illustrations accompany the texts of these letters.
