Abstract
In this dissertation an attempt will be made to gain some form of understanding of Peter Ackroyd's novels. Since no writer or reader can ever wholly escape the numerous, often disparate, influences stemming from the context in which he/she lives and writes/reads, it would be futile and meaningless to analyse texts in isolation. Ackroyd writes in a postmodern time and we, as readers, inevitably read in just such a time. A Victorian reader would be struck by other elements and would read from a perspective different to that of a postmodern reader. One has to select, and the selection is determined by one's frame of reference.
