Reader's note

This pale blue and patterned book will look wonderful in any vintage library! The subtitle of the novel is 'A novel without a hero' this shows how the characters within the text and Thackeray himself are all flawed in their own way. The following extract from chapter IV showcases some thoughts about women - It was an advance, and as such, perhaps, some ladies of indisputable correctness and gentility will condemn the action as immodest; but, you see, poor dear Rebecca had all this work to do for herself. If a person is too poor to keep a servant, though ever so elegant, he must sweep his own rooms: if a dear girl has no dear Mamma to settle matters with the young man, she must do it for herself. And oh, what a mercy it is that these women do not exercise their powers oftener! We can't resist them, if they do. Let them show ever so little inclination, and men go down on their knees at once: old or ugly, it is all the same. And this I set down as a positive truth. A woman with fair opportunities, and without an absolute hump, may marry WHOM SHE LIKES. Only let us be thankful that the darlings are like the beasts of the field, and don't know their own power. They would overcome us entirely if they did. - whether you agree or not, the perspective is interesting! Add this classic title to your collection today!
