William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
Autor von Jahrmarkt der Eitelkeit
Über den Autor
William Makepeace Thackeray was born in Calcutta, India, where his father was in service to the East India Company. After the death of his father in 1816, he was sent to England to attend school. Upon reaching college age, Thackeray attended Trinity College, Cambridge, but he left before completing mehr anzeigen his degree. Instead, he devoted his time to traveling and journalism. Generally considered the most effective satirist and humorist of the mid-nineteenth century, Thackeray moved from humorous journalism to successful fiction with a facility that was partially the result of a genial fictional persona and a graceful, relaxed style. At his best, he held up a mirror to Victorian manners and morals, gently satirizing, with a tone of sophisticated acceptance, the inevitable failure of the individual and of society. He took up the popular fictional situation of the young person of talent who must make his way in the world and dramatized it with satiric directness in The Luck of Barry Lyndon (1844), with the highest fictional skill and appreciation of complexities inherent within the satiric vision in his masterpiece, Vanity Fair (1847), and with a great subtlety of point of view and background in his one historical novel, Henry Esmond (1852). Vanity Fair, a complex interweaving in a vast historical panorama of a large number of characters, derives its title from John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and attempts to invert for satirical purposes, the traditional Christian image of the City of God. Vanity Fair, the corrupt City of Man, remains Thackeray's most appreciated and widely read novel. It contrasts the lives of two boarding-school friends, Becky Sharp and Amelia Smedley. Constantly attuned to the demands of incidental journalism and his sense of professionalism in his relationship with his public, Thackeray wrote entertaining sketches and children's stories and published his humorous lectures on eighteenth-century life and literature. His own fiction shows the influence of his dedication to such eighteenth-century models as Henry Fielding, particularly in his satire, which accepts human nature rather than condemns it and takes quite seriously the applicability of the true English gentleman as a model for moral behavior. Thackeray requested that no authorized biography of him should ever be written, but members of his family did write about him, and these accounts were subsequently published.

- William Makepeace Thackery was second only to Charles Dickens in stature as an author during the Victorian era. His humorous and satirical writings were much in demand by periodicals, including Punch, and he was a popular lecturer. Today he's best known for his novel Vanity Fair, which is required reading in most college English courses. He experienced tragedy in his personal life due to the long deterioration and mental illness of his wife Isabella.

December: Thackeray : Vanity Fair in Monthly Author Reads (Januar 2011)
Rezensionen
Jahrmarkt der Eitelkeit: oder Ein Roman ohne Held von William Thackeray
Thackeray schildert am Beispiel einiger Personen des viktorianischen Englands die Abgründe und Eitelkeiten jener Zeit. Es geht um mehr Schein als Sein. Dargestellt werden vor allem Personen, die den eigenen Vorteil suchen. Das Buch ist witzig und ausgesprochen gut beobachtet, ein tolles Zeitdokument. Es liest sich leichter als Dickens, finde ich. Allerdings ist das Buch etwa sehr lang, es könnte etwas gestraffter werden. Es empfiehlt sich aber nicht das Ende auszulassen, da es doch noch einige Überraschungen bietet. Und wirklich böse sein kann man niemandem auf dem Jahrmarkt der Eitelkeiten.… (mehr)
