William Makepeace Thackeray The English novelist, Thackeray, was born in India to well-to-do parents. At the tender age of 6 years, William was sent away by his mother (his father had died and she had remarried). He was to make the long sea voyage to London, there to attend school. Thackeray was to read law at Cambridge (1829) "but abandoned the idea of the bar in order to explore journalism and art." Thackeray completed no degrees. He spent three years in Paris trying unsuccessfully to be a painter. On returning to England in 1836, he married and turned his hand to writing; he was to soon win "a popular and a critical reputation." Thackeray's works include Vanity Fair The History of Pendennis Henry Esmond (1852) and Newcomes (1853-55). In the The History of Pendennis Thackeray tells of his experiences at Cambridge. " Vanity Fair is the first novel to give a conspectus of London society with its mingling of rich parvenus and decadent upper class ..." The Newcomes show what happens to young lovers when they are left to "the mercy of scheming relatives and meanspirited rival suitors." Though criticized as a historian , Thackeray's The Four Georges (1855) dealing with the Hanoverian kings of England is well worth reading. Then there is Thackeray's

Thackeray, William Makepeace English novelist and humorist, one of the foremost exponents of the 19th-century realistic novel, exemplified by his two most famous works, Vanity Fair and Henry Esmond. Thackeray was born July 18, 1811, in Calcutta, India, into a wealthy English merchant family. In 1829 Thackeray entered the University of Cambridge. Leaving the university without taking his degree, he attempted to develop his literary and artistic abilities, first as the editor of a short-lived journal and subsequently as an art student in Paris. In 1840, despite a series of financial reverses and the mental illness of his wife, Thackeray produced The Paris Sketchbook, a series of reprints of his contributions to various literary journals. Comic Tales and Sketches (1841) contained the Yellowplush Papers, Major Gahagan, and the Bedford Row Conspiracy. After joining the staff of the humorous journal Punch in 1842, he published the Irish Sketchbook in 1843 and Cornhill to Cairo in 1847. Thackeray began the serial publication of his great satirical novel Vanity Fair early in 1847, quickly establishing a reputation as one of the major literary figures of his time. In such subsequent novels as Pendennis (1848), Henry Esmond (1852), The Newcomes (1853), and The Virginians (1857), he broadened his observation of social situations to various eras and locales. These widely acclaimed works brought Thackeray new recognition. He became a principal competitor of his great contemporary
