Annotation Why were the Victorians so passionate about 'history'? How did this passion relate to another Victorian obsession - the 'woman question'? Christina Crosby investigates the links between the Victorians' fascination with 'history' and with the nature of 'women'.

The book tells the story of the early life of Henry Esmond, a colonel in the service of Queen Anne of England. A typical example of Victorian historical novels, Thackeray's work of historical fiction tells its tale against the backdrop of late 17th- and early 18th-century England -- specifically, major events surrounding the English Restoration -- and utilises characters both real (but dramatised) and imagined. It weaves its central character into a number of events such as the Glorious Revolution, the War of the Spanish Succession, the Hamilton-Mohun Duel and the Hanoverian Succession.
