The Memoirs Of Barry Lyndon Esq Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. Barry lyndon was written in 1843 and 1844, and first appeared in Fraser' 8 Magazine in the latter year. As was the case with nearly all of Thackeray's serially published novels, the end was not written until almost the time when the serial publication required it Thack cray's diary recording on November 4, 1844, finished Barry after great throes late at night. He had writ ten at it all through the year in Paris and in London, and apparently with unusual difficulty in the midst of other undertakings; Mrs. Ritchie quotes several passages from the diary and from letters, ranging from October, 1843, to August, 1844, showing work for Punch and many things in hand besides, and nearly all expressing anxiety at the slow and laborious progress of the novel. Finally he carried it with him on his journey from Cornhill to Cairo, and wrote the last lines, and the diary entry just cited, in quarantine at Malta on his way home.
