William Makepeace Thackeray (18 July 1811 24 December 1863) was an English novelist of the 19th century. He was famous for his satirical works, particularly Vanity Fair, a panoramic portrait of English society. During the Victorian era, Thackeray was ranked second only to Charles Dickens, but he is now much less read and is known almost exclusively for Vanity Fair. In that novel he was able to satirise whole swaths of humanity while retaining a light touch. It also features his most memorable character, the engagingly roguish Becky Sharp. As a result, unlike Thackeray's other novels, it remains popular with the general reading public; it is a standard fixture in university courses and has been repeatedly adapted for movies and television. In Thackeray's own day, some commentators, such as Anthony Trollope, ranked his History of Henry Esmond as his greatest work, perhaps because it expressed Victorian values of duty and earnestness, as did some of his other later novels. It is perhaps for this reason that they have not survived as well as Vanity Fair, which satirises those values. Thackeray saw himself as writing in the realistic tradition and distinguished himself from the exaggerations and sentimentality of Dickens. Some later commentators have accepted this self-evaluation and seen him as a realist, but others note his inclination to use eighteenth-century narrative techniques, such as digressions and talking to the reader, and argue that through them he frequently disrupts the illusion of reality. The school of Henry James, with its emphasis on maintaining that illusion, marked a break with Thackeray's techniques.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. William Makepeace Thackeray, the famed Victorian novelist and essayist, is principally known to modern readers as the author of "Vanity Fair"; however, Thackeray's literary output was prodigious and his contemporaries knew him not just as a novelist, but as a trenchant social satirist. The satirical element certainly shows up in "Vanity Fair", but elsewhere in Thackeray's works the element of satire is much more visibly on the surface. Such is the case with the book here in hand. "Burlesques" is a collection of satirical pieces that show of Thackeray's sense of the ridiculous, as he lampoons the foibles of society. This is the American reprint, published in 1885 by John R. Alden. the book includes the illustrations done by both the author and Richard Doyle. ///// This is a deaccessioned library volume, with labels and stamps to that effect.
