Description
Ten Thousand A Year was first published in the Edinburgh Magazine in installments in 1839. Despite Edgar Allan Poe's critical panning of the book as 'shamefully ill-written' in the November 1841 issue of Graham's Magazine, it went on to become one of the most popular novels of the era in both the United States and Europe. New print runs and updated editions were published regularly to the turn of the century. The story chronicles events in the life of its iconic protagonist Tittlebat Titmouse and offers in-depth detail of English common law of the time and contains social satire rivalling that of Thackeray, but written from a Tory standpoint.
