Subjects: Snobs and snobbishness; Customer Reviews English snobbery and class differences in the mid 19th century. I really enjoyed this book. Unlike the previous reviewer, I found it totally enjoyable and informative. It is not a book of jokes: it's mostly satire, and is amusing rather than funny, though I did laugh out loud a few times. What surprised me was that so many of these snobs still exist in the 21st century! The author says, "It is impossible for ANY Briton not to be a snob in some degree." The book is a collections of articles Thackeray wrote for Punch, and is typical of that magazine. Thackeray's definition is, 'He who meanly admires mean things is a snob'. He starts at the top, by defining and describing Royal Snobs, Aristocratic Snobs, respectable snobs, city snobs, military snobs, clerical snobs, university snobs, literary snobs, etc, etc., and so descends to the lower classes, which are just as full of snobs as the upper. I found myself in this book! I believe myself to be a humble downright person, but Thackeray's perception is very acute. I would challenge any Brit to read this and NOT find himself.

As a contributor to Punch he often parodied the false romantic sentiment pervading the fiction of his day. In 1848, Thackeray achieved widespread popularity with his humorous Book of Snobs and the same year rose to major rank among English novelists with Vanity Fair, a satirical panorama of upper-middle-class London life and manners at the beginning of the 19th cent. The novel contains many fascinating characters, particularly Becky Sharp, who, although clever and unscrupulous, is also extremely appealing. His reputation increased in 1850 with the completion of the partly autobiographical novel Pendennis. In 1851 he delivered a series of lectures, English Humorists of the Eighteenth Century, Henry Esmond, appeared.

Banglapedia in Bengali Thackeray, William Makepeace (1749-1814) was born in Harrow, England, 20 June 1749. Son of Dr. Thomas Thackeray, head-master of Harrow School, and Ann Woodward, William Makepeace Thackeray, known as 'Sylhet Thackeray', joined the east india company at 15 as a book-keeper. He sailed for India on the Lord Camden in February 1766. By December of 1767 Thackeray had been promoted to the post of Assistant to the President of the board of trade and in August 1771 became the fourth member in Council at Dhaka, then the chief seat of the Company in Eastern Bengal. He travelled from Kolkata to Dhaka accompanied by his sister Jane, who married the cartographer james rennell on 15 October 1772. William Makepeace Thackeray Thackeray, in that year, was appointed Collector of Sylhet, with instructions to impose order on the Company's procedures for collecting tax revenues. There Thackeray served as tax collector, road and bridge builder and magistrate, and ensured the Company's monopoly over the lime, salt and tobacco trades. Following continued incursions by parties of Jaintia hill tribesmen onto the Sylhet plain, Thackeray led a military campaign against the Raja to secure the free passage of Company trade along the Surma river. Thackeray's troops overwhelmed resistance in the Jaintia hills in March 1773, following which Sylhet was attached to the Dhaka district on 22 July of that year.

The University of Adelaide Library eBooks Help ... Contact us William Makepeace Thackeray, 1811–1863 Biographical note In 1836, while acting as Paris correspondent for the second of his journals, he married Isabella, daughter of Colonel Shawe, an Irish officer, and the next year he returned to England and became a contributor to Fraser’s Magazine , in which appeared The Yellowplush Papers The Great Hoggarty Diamond Catherine , and Barry Lyndon , the history of an Irish sharper, which contains some of his best work. Other works of this period were The Paris Sketch-book [1840] and The Irish Sketch-book [1843]. His work in Fraser , while it was appreciated at its true worth by a select circle, had not brought him any very wide recognition: it was his contributions to Punch — the Book of Snobs and Jeames’s Diary — which first caught the ear of the wider public. The turning point in his career, however, was the publication in monthly numbers of Vanity Fair (1847–48). This extraordinary work gave him at once a place beside Fielding at the head of English novelists, and left him no living competitor except Dickens. Pendennis , largely autobiographical, followed in 1848–50, and fully maintained his reputation. In 1851 he broke new ground, and appeared, with great success, as a lecturer, taking for his subject

M A Y 1 8 6 5 Vanity Fair, by William Makepeace Thackeray A review by Edwin Percy Whipple I n the novels of Thackeray, essay is so much mixed up with narrative, and comment with characterization, that they can hardly be thoroughly appreciated in poor editions. The temptation to skip is almost irresistible, when wisdom can be purchased only at the expense of eyesight. We are therefore glad to welcome the commencement of a new edition of his writings, over whose pages the reader can linger at his pleasure, and quietly enjoy the subtleties of humor and observation which in previous perusals he overlooked. The present volumes, published by the Harpers, are among the most tasteful and comely products of the Cambridge University Press. Printed in large type of tinted paper, elegantly bound in green cloth and with a fac-simile of the author's autograph on the cover, every copy has the appearance of being a presentation copy. No English edition of Vanity Fair is equal to this American one in respect either to convenience of form or beauty of mechanical execution. The illustrations are numerous, well engraved, and embody the writer's own conceptions of his scenes and characters, and are often deliciously humorous. Vanity Fair Vanity Fair of the actual world. It has always seemed to us that Mr. Osborne, the father of George, a representation of the most hateful phase of English character, is one of the most vividly true and life-like of all the delineations in the book, and more of a typical personage than even Becky or the Marquis of Steyne. Thackeray's theory of characterization proceeds generally on the assumption that the acts of men and women are directed not by principle, but by instincts, selfish or amiablethat toleration of human weakness is possible only by lowering the standard of human capacity and obligationand that the preliminary condition of an accurate knowledge of human character is distrust of ideals and repudiation of patterns. This view is narrow, and by no means covers all the facts of history and human life, but what relative truth it has is splendidly illustrated in
