Cornhill To Cairo, Etc.: The Prose Works Of William Makepeace Thackeray is a collection of the prose works of the renowned 19th century English author, William Makepeace Thackeray. The book features a variety of Thackeray's writings, including essays, reviews, satirical pieces, and travelogues. The title of the book, Cornhill To Cairo, refers to one of Thackeray's travelogues, which chronicles his journey from London to Cairo. Thackeray is best known for his novels, particularly Vanity Fair, but this collection showcases his versatility as a writer and his ability to tackle a wide range of subjects. The essays and reviews cover topics such as literature, art, politics, and social issues, while the satirical pieces skewer the foibles and pretensions of Victorian society. The travelogues are particularly interesting, as they offer a glimpse into the world as it was in the mid-19th century. Thackeray's observations and descriptions of the places he visited are vivid and engaging, and provide a fascinating perspective on the cultures and customs of the time. Overall, Cornhill To Cairo, Etc.: The Prose Works Of William Makepeace Thackeray is an excellent introduction to Thackeray's non-fiction writing, and a must-read for fans of Victorian literature and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
