Richmond
Ritchie, has supplied this lack with many sketches and
introductions to various editions of her father's works.
Anthony Trollope in his autobiography gives many charming
glimpses of Thackeray but his sketch of Thackeray in the
English Men of Letters series is not warmly appreciative.
One of the best short estimates of Thackeray is Charles
Whibley's _Thackeray_ (1905). Also valuable are sketches by
Frederic Harrison in _Early Victorian Literature_; Brownell,
_Early Victorian Masters_; Whipple, _Character and
Characteristic Men_; R.H. Stoddard, _Anecdote Biography of
Thackeray_; Andrew Lang, _Letters to Dead Authors_; G.T.
Fields, _Yesterdays With Authors_; Jeaffreson, _Novels and
Novelists_ and W.B. Jerrold, _The Best of All Good Company_.
The reviews and magazines, especially in the last ten years,
have abounded in articles on Thackeray. Among these the best
have appeared in SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE. A small volume, _The
Sense and Sentiment of Thackeray_ (Harper's, 1909), gives
numerous good extracts from the novels as well as from the
essays.
