Memory and Legacy

Formerly Head of the Department of Performing Arts at Brunel University, since 2001 John Aplin has pursued independent and extensive research on the Thackeray family. In 2006 he published A True Affection: Anne Thackeray Ritchie and the Tennysons. The Inheritance of Genius will be followed by a second volume Memory and Legacy, and both are due for publication in 2010 by The Lutterworth Press.

There can be no doubt that both collections by Aplin will enhance scholar's understanding of Thackeray but their greatest contribution will be to researchers of Anne Thackeray Ritchie's life.
