内容説明

This study of Thackeray's "The Newcomes" explores the cultural density found within the text and shows how Thackeray, using doubleness and ironic juxtaposition, exploited the dynamics of alusion in order to achieve several ends: to present an archetypal anc cyclical vision of life, to question the status and value of fictions and to blur traditional distinctions between fiction and history, originality and convention, nature and artifice.
