Description
The Newcomes
Author: W. M. Thackeray
Hard cover. Good condition. 1855 edition.
The Newcomes by William Makepeace Thackeray is a sprawling Victorian novel that explores themes of family, honor, social class, and morality through the fortunes and misfortunes of the Newcome family. Central to the narrative is Colonel Thomas Newcome, a noble and upright man who serves as a moral anchor amid the complexities of London society and the rise of the nouveau riche. His nephew, Clive Newcome, an aspiring artist, navigates love, ambition, and social expectations, with his story framed by the satirical and reflective commentary of Thackeray’s recurring narrator, Arthur Pendennis. Rich in character detail and social critique, The Newcomes is both a touching family saga and a sharp examination of Victorian values and hypocrisy.
