Summary
"The purpose of this book is to examine one of the aspects in Thackeray's major works, which the German connected matters suggest systematically. Such an implicative component of each novel is here called the German code. Although the German materials in the novelist's writings have been pointed out several times, they were little considered in terms of narratology. Therefore, this study elucidates their significance to the whole narrative." -- introduction, page 1.
