Other Fiction Thackeray, W.M.: The History of Pendennis | Illustrated | v.1.0 | 7 Mar 2026

Here’s an epub of The History of Pendennis by W.M. Thackeray. I have fully proofed the GB text against the first book edition (London: Bradbury & Evans, 2 vols., 1849/50) and corrected hundreds of mistakes and variants. It comes with Thackeray’s original illustrations for the book, all 193 of them.

My original plan of preparing an illustrated edition of Thackeray’s Collected Works had to be abandoned when I found out that it would have to contain more than 1000 images, resulting, due to MR’s file size limitation, in a split-up 3-volume edition. I will therefore publish his Collected Works in one volume without the images and separate illustrated epubs of selected novels and other writings. Next up: The Virginians.
