Abstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the parody ballad by W. M. Thackeray "The Legend of St. Sophia of Kioff" (1839). An attempt was made to indicate the source of information about Kyiv, which could be found in Jane Porter’s historical novel "Thaddeus of Warsaw", written according to the testimonies of Polish emigrants. The ballad is interpreted as a traditional for English oral and written literature genre, which has acquired formal signs of printed text. All these signs are present in Thackeray's ballad, including the division into chapters, a functionally significant paratext, topical historical and cultural allusiveness, satirical-defamatory pathos, polemics. "Kyiv text" in Thackeray’s poem is modeled according to the genre conventions of the ballads about St. George, stating an informative narrative with a programmed and incessant general message. Thackeray creates the image of Kyiv in the traditions of utopian literature, calling it a real paradise. Kyiv happy residents became victims of envious neighbors, whose ethnographic and religious affiliation is absurdly mottled. Thackeray does not hold on to the historical truth, forming a fictional space, markers of which are stereotypes of romantic literature topos, comparisons, the allusion to the works and the style of Byron, Hoffman and other romantics. Irony becomes the defining ideological and aesthetic dominant of Thackeray’s ballad about the confrontation between the Kyivans and Cossack invaders, which, marked by intertext, forms the distance of the narrator from the text, inducing the reader to form his own ironic perception of both the artistic world of the work and of the reality.

Abstract:
In the wake of Foucault's influential retelling of the history of sexuality, a new school of censorship theory emerged that was devoted to exposing and unpacking the paradoxically productive effects of censorious practices. This essay traces a particular strand of that paradox, labeled here the logic of scandal: the logic wherein discourse is authorized and amplified by feelings like shock and moral condemnation rather than stymied by them. To explore the ramifications of this logic for and within narrative art, I take as my subjects a novel written during the famously prudish Victorian era and a film produced under the famously stringent Production Code—W. M. Thackeray's Vanity Fair and Preston Sturges's The Lady Eve. In each the “scandalous” discursive acrobatics performed by the text's morally ambiguous heroine reflect the strategies of censorship evasion employed by the morally ambiguous artist who created her.

Abstract:
The aim of the article is to analyse the concept of gentlemanliness with regard to heroic masculinity in W.M. Thackeray’s novel Vanity Fair. Set at the time of the Napoleonic Wars and written in the 1840s, the novel casts light on the controversial nature of the notion of gentleman. In the Victorian period, gentlemanliness came to be modelled on the principles of chivalry but there was nevertheless an implicit assumption originating from the Regency era that being a gentleman meant yielding to leisurely elegance rather than performing heroic deeds. Thackeray, whose formative years had passed in the Regency-tinted 1820s and early 1830s but who as a novelist gained maturity in the mid-nineteenth century, was acutely aware of the contradiction between the Regency and Victorian perceptions of gentlemanliness and the unease resulting therefrom. Thus, the paper argues that although the Regency standards of gentlemanliness were discarded as incompatible with Victorian heroic masculinity, they had a considerable influence on how heroism as a component of gentlemanliness was perceived in the Victorian era. The analysis of gentlemanliness focuses on the four principal male characters in the novel – Jos Sedley, Rawdon Crawley, George Osborne, and William Dobbin, of whom each represents aspects of gentlemanliness not entirely compatible with the Victorian heroic ideal. The article suggests that the characters take heroism as an asset for creating a heroic image rather than as a manifestation of heroic deeds, thus presenting vividly the contradiction within the concept of Victorian heroic masculinity.

Abstract:
La premiere partie de cette these etudie le snobisme comme relation triangulaire et comme mode original de quete des valeurs. Sont ensuite recherchees les causes du snobisme, la these soutenue etant que le snob est l'individu typique d'un monde sans dieu, incapable d'assumer sa liberte. La seconde partie defend la these que les personnages principaux des grands romans de thackeray apres vanity fair sont des "individus problematiques", a la recherche de valeurs authentiques dans un monde dont la degradation prend la forme du snobisme et de la valeur d'echange. Les romans de thackeray visent donc a cette adequation de l'individu et de la societe, qu'est la totalite selon georg lukacs, et qui se realiserait de maniere nostalgique et imaginaire a la fin, si l'ironie de l'auteur n'intervenait pas
Starting from the concept of "mediation" defined by rene girard, the first part studies snobbery as a triangular relationship and a particular way of seeking values. In this part, the causes of snobbery are also analysed, the main conclusion being that the snob is the typical individual of a world without god, unable to "assume" his freedom. In the second part, the main thesis is that the main characters of thackeray's novels after vanity fair are "problematic individuals" in search of authentic values in a world degraded by snobbery and the value of exchange. Thackeray's novels are the quest for a harmony between the individual and society, called "totality", after georg lukacs, which would be achieved at the end of the novels in a nostalgic and imaginary way, if the author's irony did not question it

The serialized English novel The Book of Snobs (1846) by W. M. Thackeray was published in 1891 in the newspaper O Estado da Paraíba. It was first published in the British magazine Punch (1846) and translated later. The author's main purpose was to show–through satire– a different perspective of the aristocratic society in Victorian England. This paper aims to investigate the English works of fiction and non-fiction in the newspapers in the province of Paraiba, map out the serialized English novels and analyze more thoroughly the novel The Book of Snobs, which is the corpus of this research. Our aim is to understand the circulation and publication practices of the serialized English novel in Paraiba newspapers in the 19th century. We analyzed source materials such as articles, ads, announcements, as well as the English novel itself, which served as a basis to map the presence of English fiction in Paraíba's newspapers. We reflect with authors such as Chartier (1990; 2002; 2011), Barbosa (2007; 2011), Freyre (2000), Ramicelli (2009), Hansen (2004), among others, who helped us to understand the English cultural importance in the development of Paraíba, as well as to understand the space of English novels in serialized in Paraíba‘s newspaper.
O romance em folhetim inglês O livro dos snobs (1846), de W. M. Thackeray, foi publicado em 1891 no jornal O Estado da Paraíba. Teve sua publicação primeira na revista inglesa Punch (1846), sendo traduzido posteriormente. O principal objetivo do escritor era mostra por meio da sátira uma visão diferenciada da sociedade da Inglaterra vitoriana. Este trabalho consiste em investigar os textos ficcionais e não-ficcionais ingleses presentes nos jornais da província paraibana, mapear os romances ingleses em folhetim e analisar mais detidamente o romance O Livros dos Snobs, corpus desta pesquisa, com a finalidade de compreender as práticas de circulação e publicação do romance inglês em folhetim nos jornais paraibanos no século XIX. Buscamos analisar fontes como artigos, anúncios, reclames, bem como o próprio romance inglês, que serviram de base para mapear a presença de ficção inglesa em periódicos paraibanos. Refletimos com autores como Chartier (1990; 2002; 2011), Barbosa (2007; 2011), Freyre (2000), Ramicelli (2009), Hansen (2004), entre outros, que nos ajudaram a compreender a importância cultural inglesa no desenvolvimento da Paraíba, bem como a entender o espaço dos romances ingleses em folhetim nos jornais paraibanos.

Abstract:
Scholars have heretofore under-examined William Makepeace Thackeray's early critical essays despite their potential for illuminating Victorian manners and life. Further, these essays' treatments of aesthetics, class, society, history, and politics are all influenced by the pecuniary aspects of periodical journalism and frequently expose socio-economic attitudes and realities. This study explicates the circumstances, contents, and cultural implications of Thackeray's critical essays. Compensatory payments Thackeray received are reconciled with his bibliographic record, questions regarding Thackeray's interactions with periodicals such as Punch and Fraser's Magazine answered, and a database of the payment practices of early Victorian periodicals established. Thackeray's contributions to leading London newspapers, the Times and the Morning Chronicle, address history, travel, art, literature, religion, and international affairs. Based upon biblio-economic payment records, cross-references, and other information, Thackeray's previously skeletal newspaper bibliographic record is fleshed out with twenty-eight new attributions. With this new information in hand, Thackeray's views on colonial emigration and imperialism, international affairs, religion, medievalism, Ireland, the East, and English middle-class identity are clarified. Further, Thackeray wrote a series of social and political "London" letters for an Indian newspaper, the Calcutta Star. This dissertation establishes that Thackeray's letters were answered in print by "colonial" letters written by James Hume, editor of the Calcutta Star; their mutual correspondence thus constitutes a revealing cosmopolitan - colonial discourse. The particulars of Thackeray's Calcutta Star writings are established, insights into the personalities and viewpoints of both men provided, and societal aspects of their correspondence analyzed. In his many newspaper art exhibition reviews Thackeray popularized serious painting and shaped middle-class taste. The nature and timing of Thackeray's art essays are assessed, espoused values characterized and earlier analyses critiqued, and Thackeray's role introducing middle-class readers to contemporary Victorian art explored. Other Thackeray newspaper reviews addressed literature; indeed, Thackeray's grounding of literature in economic realities demonstrably carried over from his critical thesiss to his subsequent work as a novelist, creating a unity of theme, style, and subject between his early and late writings. Literary pathways originating in Thackeray's critical reviews are shown to offer new insights into Thackeray novels Catherine, Vanity Fair, Henry Esmond, and Pendennis.
