An Offer from a French Publisher for Esmond

Peter L. Shillingsburg, Professor of English, Mississippi State University

Note 28 to Chapter 4 of the author's Pegasus in Harness: Victorian Publishing and W. M. Thackeray, which University Press of Virginia published in 1992. It has been included in the Victorian Web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.

In September, Thackeray wrote to Smith suggesting, "And Galignani Might he not be induced to give something for the English reprint in France?" (NLS).
