Which Contains Births, Marriages, and Deaths Biographical Note WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY was born at Calcutta, India, on July 18, 1811, the son and grandson of officers of the East India Company. His father died when William was six, and the following year the future novelist was sent to England to be educated. After some years at private schools, he entered the Charterhouse in 1822, and remained till 1828. Neither there nor at Cambridge, where he was a member of Trinity College for a year and a half, did he distinguish himself as a scholar; and he finally left the university because he felt he was wasting his time, and determined to finish his education by travel. During a stay of several months at Weimar he met Goethe, and years afterwards used his reminiscences of the Grand Ducal Court there in his description of Pumpernickel in “Vanity Fair.” On his return to England he took up the study of law, and though he was later called to the bar he never practised. Thackeray’s father had left him a considerable fortune, most of which had disappeared by the time he was twenty-three, part lost in an unsuccessful newspaper, part in unfortunate investments, and part through gambling. Finding that he had to earn his bread, he resolved to study art, and in 1834 went to Paris for this purpose. Two years later he was appointed Paris correspondent of a short-lived paper, “The Constitutionalist,” and on the strength of this he married Isabella Shawe, the daughter of an Irish officer. After four years of happy married life, Mrs. Thackeray’s mind gave way, and though she lived till 1894 she never recovered. For a number of years he had to struggle to keep his head above water, writing for newspaper and periodicals and doing a good deal of illustrating. Though he never acquired great technical skill as a draughtsman, he had a gift of turning out amusing sketches, and for ten years he was on the staff of “Punch” as both artist and author. It was in that publication, with “The Snobs of England,” that he first achieved popularity, his earlier novels, “Catherine” and “Barry Lyndon,” having failed to hit the popular taste. In January, 1847, “Vanity Fair” began to appear in monthly numbers, and by the time it was concluded in the July of the following year he was generally awarded a place in the first rank of English novelists. Dickens was then at the height of his fame, and, though the two men appreciated each other’s work, their admirers were fond of debating their comparative merits—a form of criticism which, though futile enough in the case of talents so dissimilar, has not yet entirely gone out of fashion. “Pendennis,” the most autobiographical of Thackeray’s novels, came out in 1848–50, and still farther strengthened his reputation. In 1851 he took up lecturing, beginning with the series on the English Humorists of the Eighteenth Century, which he delivered first in London. These were in a sense a by-product of “Esmond,” published in 1852, in the autumn of which year he carried them across the Atlantic. He lectured at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Charleston, and Savannah, was received with great hospitality, made many friends, and went home the next spring the richer by some $10,000. A second tour in America, with “The Four Georges,” followed in 1855, and was also successful. Meantime he had completed “The Newcomes,” and while in Rome with his daughters for the Christmas season of 1853, he wrote and illustrated for some children the amusing burlesque of “The Rose and the Ring.” Thackeray was now one of the notable figures of English society and was financially at ease. In 1857 he stood for Parliament for the city of Oxford, but missed election by a narrow margin. Apparently little downcast, he returned to his literary work and issued “The Virginians,” 1857–59. It is commonly felt that with this book the quality of his work begins to fall off, and none of his subsequent novels achieved great success. In 1860 he undertook the editorship of the newly founded “Cornhill Magazine,” and to it he contributed his delightful essays, “The Roundabout Papers.” But his health, which for years had been far from good, unfitted him for the labor of editorship, and he resigned in 1862. On the morning of December 24, 1863, he was found dead. The death of Thackeray was keenly felt through a wide circle both in England and abroad. His striking figure—he was six feet, three inches in height, with a massive head—had become familiar not only through his appearances on the platform but through the caricatures of himself that he had whimsically introduced into many of his drawings in “Punch” and elsewhere; and he was held in affectionate reverence by thousands who had never seen him. Though he first made his reputation as a satirist, he was a man without malice and of extraordinarily tender sensibilities. He had had to struggle hard to gain a footing in letters, and suffered more than his share of domestic sorrow; but he was generously helpful to others, even when he could little afford it, and found his greatest delight in brightening the lives of children. He used to be blamed for cynicism, but it has long been clear that it was the keenness of his appreciation of the loftier possibilities of human nature that lay at the root of his sadness that these possibilities are so seldom realized. Though he achieved brilliant success in the fields of the burlesque and the essay, it is, of course, on his work as a novelist that his great reputation is chiefly based. But when the attempt is made to rank his novels among themselves, great diversity of opinion appears. Some specialists would give first place to the comparatively little read “Barry Lyndon”; more favor “The Newcomes.” His style nowhere reaches greater perfection than in the astonishing reproduction of the diction of Queen Anne’s reign in “Esmond.” Yet, all in all, it is safe to say that he never surpassed his first great success, “Vanity Fair.” Here we find at their height his distinguishing qualities: his power of conveying the spirit and atmosphere of an epoch, of delineating a throng of people and making them all living men and women, of conceiving great dramatic situations and presenting these so as to display character with the utmost vividness, of stripping away the veils that hide our motives not only from others but from ourselves.

My thanks go to Mark Wollaeger, Dana Nelson, the English Department, and the Graduates School for the Fellowship and other generous grants. My ideas were shaped by each and every professor with whom I have ever taken a class—in particular, Jonathan Lamb who was a large part of the inception of a project about things and who remained an unending font of knowledge through its completion. I want to thank Carolyn Dever for making me reflect upon my writing process and my mental state, not just the words on the page, and Elaine Freedgood for being an amazingly generous reader who never gave up on pushing me to be more rigorous. Most of all, my gratitude goes to Rachel Teukolsky and Jay Clayton for being the best dissertation directors I could ever imagine having. Rachel has molded both my arguments and my prose from the very first piece on Aladdin’s lamp, in addition to providing thoughtful advice about the experience of being in graduate school and beyond.

  • The Irish Characters in Thackeray's Fiction
    RICE UNIVERSITY THE IRISH CHARACTERS IM THACKERAY*S FICTION tv EVELYN POWELL PAYNE A THESIS SUBM1T1ED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS 3 ’2^2 00263 5,8, Thesis Director*s signatures Houston* Texas May, 1963 ABSTRACT THE IRISH CHARACTERS IN THACKERAY*S FICTION by Evelyn Powell Payne In Thackeray*s fiction, the Irish characters compose a group with a number of common traits. Each of them has several of these qualities* the most common are belligerence, boastfulness about family and country, claims to descent from Irish kings, brogue speech, tendency to distort facts, fondness for drink, and self-delusion, A comparison of his fictional characters with Thackeray* observations in his Irish Sketch Book reveals that the author deliberately exaggerates the eccentricities of Irishmen for his fictional purposes. The Sketch Book is a fairly unbiased account of the country and its citizens and is often complimentary to the Irish, Thackeray*s portrayal of Irish characters in his novels and stories derives in part from a literary stereotype for which such nineteenth-century Irish writers as Charles Lever are largely responsible. Thackeray*s experiences with Irish acquaintances also contributed to his delineation of his characters. Most significant are his association in his professional life with Irish writers, and in his personal life with his wife*s relatives, the Shawe family. Most of Thackeray*s Irishmen, and some of the women, are comic characters, following the literary tradition Of the stage Irishman. They ran9e from extravagant a"d fanciful ii characters in his shorter works, such as Mrs* Perkins1 s Ball, a Christmas book, to almost equally extravagant but realistic Irishmen in the novels.
