"Contexts" includes materials relating to governesses, historical novels, the Battle of Waterloo and the military, bankruptcy, regency fashions, and the London landscape, all of which figure prominently in the novel."Criticism" is a collection of nine essays written between 1900 and 1990 that reveal the developing response to Vanity Fair.  William C.
