The Works of William Makepeace Thackeray Vol 28 - Classic Reprint Author:William Makepeace Thackeray The publication of Denis Duval, the novel which Thackeray left unfinished, was begun after his death in the Cornhill Magazine for March, 1864, and continued till June, when the last chapter he had written apj Deared with the Notes by Mr. Frederick Greenwood, which are printed with it in the revised edition, and are here retained.
