Breeches and Metaphysics: Thackeray's German Discourse (Studies in Comparative Literature, 1) - Softcover
Synopsis
This study traces the successive stages of Thackeray's contact with the German world and analyses the discourse he developed as a result. The author is concerned with the fiction and criticism of Thackeray's :Paris Sketch Book" and the impressions related by the cockney traveller in "Irish Sketch Book" and "Notes of a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo". Thackeray's own pictorial illustrations of his writings and those by Cruikshank, Doyle and Walker, which he supervised and supplemented, are recognized as an integral part of his German discourse. The study is a chronological one, setting Thackeray's construction of "German" and "the Germans" against the background of his own development and of the social, industrial, cultural and political history of Britain and its continental neighbours.

Review
What Thackeray did not publish Professor Prawer has done for him in this welcome addition to the Thackeray literature. (unsigned notice Times Literary Supplement, 1997)
It is good to have a book of this kind that so thoroughly covers its subject. I have the distinct impression that Prawer has really hunted down and rounded up every last German reference there is in Thackeray and I am glad he has done it. (John R. Reed Analytical and Enumerative Bibliography, 11.4, 2000, 326-7)
Prawer’s comprehensive analysis is thoroughly researched and convincing throughout. One of the strongest features of his monograph is the skilful mastery with which the author examines the interaction between the different discourses depicted above, as well as their function in Thackeray’s oeuvre as a whole. An essential study for scholars in the field of Anglo-German literary relations and the wider domain of cultural transmission. (Susanne Stark Modern Language Review, 96.1, 2001, 298-9)
