The Newcomes: Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family

The Newcomes chronicles the fortunes and misfortunes of a genteel English family, centering on Colonel Newcome—a man of unwavering honor—and his idealistic son Clive. Through Clive’s artistic ambitions, romantic entanglements, and moral trials, Thackeray explores themes of integrity, social class, and the tension between principle and pragmatism in Victorian society. With warmth and irony, the novel contrasts true virtue against worldly ambition, offering a rich, panoramic portrait of 19th-century life and the quiet heroism of decency amid moral compromise.
