Abstract

The History of Pendennnis, one of Thackeray's less appreciated novels, is analysed as a complex symbolical tcxt which deals with Vicorian sexual politics. The basic argument of the article is that the text undermines the social/narrative codes it ironically adopts by developing a striking and powerful subtext ot' subversion.
