Minny would marry Leslie Stephen, later father of Virginia   Woolf, and die at only thirty-five; Annie, encouraged in early years by her   father, would herself emerge as a successful novelist, though one always   living, albeit willingly, within her father's shadow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     Drawing extensively on the letters, diaries, journals and notebooks of the   Thackerays and their circle, Aplin sheds light on this remarkable man's   family, and the effect that his life, death and legacy had on those closest   to him. The first biography of the Thackeray family circle since that of   Gordon Ray in 1958, Aplin's two-part study incorporates significant new   documentary evidence, some of it never previously seen by Thackeray scholars,   and includes the fullest and frankest examination of the lives of Thackeray's   two daughters yet published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     Illustrated with portraits, group photographs, and original sketches by the   Thackerays, this biography is a wholly new reappraisal of Thackeray's life,   writing, and legacy through the lens that truly defined him - his family. It   will appeal not just to those interested in Thackeray and the Victorians, but   also to readers of biography, women's studies and memoirs, and to followers   of Viriginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group.","brand":"John Aplin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49056412401915,"sku":"9780718892265","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_a0b8b691-3d81-4344-b8a5-416151510e0f.jpg?v=1783499310","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/a-thackeray-family-biography-1798-1919-2-vol-set-9780718892265","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
