In this brief study, I have attempted to re-examine various critical issues raised by Thackeray's style, which seem to me unavoidable and which for convenience I have divided into these subjects: "Authorial Voice", "Satiric Method"'• "Stereotyping", "Time" and "Cynicism and Distance". I hope that the title: "Nostalgic Satirist" will be seen to have some meaning in view of the comments made in these chapters. The first of these concentrates predominantly on Thackeray's habit of commenting in asides, a habit much criticised and which I have attempted to defend in terms of the genre of Thackeray's works, which I take to be closer to the eighteenth century than to the Victorian era. I have attempted to explain his tendency towards towards rhetoric in terms of his self-conscioμs attitude, the special relationship he has with his reader, and in terms of his satiric method which is necessarily often rhetorical. 2014-12-03T13:43:10Z 2014-12-03T13:43:10Z 1982 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9889 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
