    Short note on thackeray and his work.  
    http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Literary/Thackeray.htm
    
    Extractions: 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

    Extractions: Google Incompetech William Makepeace Thackeray was born 18 July 1811, first and only child of Richmond Thackeray and Anne Becher Thackeray . He was born in India, where his father worked for the East India Company, and sent to school in England, as was the fashion for colonial-born children, in 1817. His father had died in 1815, and shortly after William left, she remarried to her first love, Captain Henry Carmichael-Smyth . They joined William in England in 1820. Like most English children, William was miserable at school. He wasn't good at sports, though he was fairly popular in spite of that, and suffered through two poor headmasters. He also had his nose broken during a boxing match with another student named George Venables . While in school he developed two habits that were to stay with him all his life: sketching and reading novels . He later attended Cambridge, where he lost a poetry contest to one Alfred Tennyson , though several of William's satirical poems were published around this time. William also met Edward FitzGerald who remained his best friend to the end of his life.

    Extractions: [Thackeray's decorated initial "W" from Vanity Fair The Tremendous Adventures of Major Goliah Gahagan Vanity Fair , and The Newcomes Thackeray was given the "education of a gentleman" at private boarding schools (so-called "public schools"), including six years at Charterhouse, and the canings and other abuses he suffered in these institutions became the basis for remembrances in essays, such as The Roundabout Papers , as well as episodes in novels ( Vanity Fair and The Newcomes , again, offer important examples). He also recalled the dryasdust lessons in the classical languages he was forced to learn and their deleterious effect on his feelings for classical literature, along with the grateful escapes he made to the popular fictions of the day, works such as Scott's Heart of Midlothian or Pierce Egan's Life in London . He was not a standout as a student, but he went on to Cambridge, where he entered Trinity College in 1819. His tutor was William Whewell (philosopher of natural science, nowadays of interest for his theory of discovery), but Thackeray saw little of the inaccessible don, preferring to spend his time at wine parties. Thanks to such amusements, his own inability to excel at mathematics, the poor preparation he had received at Charterhouse, and a penchant for gambling and trips to the Continent, Thackeray left the university without a degree after two years. The life of the undergraduate at "Oxbridge" is represented obliquelyfor "the life of such boys does not bear telling altogether"in
