Set against the backdrop of Victorian society, this satirical work critiques the era's romanticization of medieval times. It presents a unique narrative approach by starting with marriage, rather than the traditional build-up to it. Thackeray's self-proclaimed 'middle-aged novel' explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the complexities of married life, offering a humorous and insightful commentary on the contradictions of its time.
