Summary "Thackeray's London: a description of his haunts and the scenes of his novels" by William H. Rideing is a historical account of the places associated with the renowned author William Makepeace Thackeray, written during the late 19th century. The book examines the locales in London that were significant both to Thackeray’s life and his literary creations, notably his novels such as "Vanity Fair." It serves as a guide for readers interested in the intersections of Thackeray's biographical narrative and the settings that populated his works. In this book, Rideing details Thackeray's connections with various locations in London, contrasting them with those associated with other authors like Charles Dickens. Describing neighborhoods such as Smithfield and Russell Square, the text highlights how Thackeray's characters occupy more refined settings, reflecting his focus on differing social strata compared to Dickens's emphasis on the city's lower classes. The author paints vivid portraits of specific sites, such as the Charterhouse educational institution and the fictional Gaunt House, elucidating how these places informed and enriched Thackeray's storytelling. Readers come away with a deeper understanding of Thackeray's London, as both a backdrop to his vivid characters and a reflection of his own life experiences, all while engaging with the rich tapestry of Victorian-era society.
