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

Abstract:
Through a sustained close reading of William Makepeace Thackeray's 1855 novel The Newcomes, this essay examines three analogous types of particularity in the novel: the particularity of loved ones in the social network, of fictional persons in the literary work, and of the individual text. Drawing on recent sociological and network readings of Victorian narrative, I argue that Thackeray's plot about relationships in the marriage market is reflected (on the level of form) by the structural relation between characters and text, and (on the level of the reading experience) by the affective engage

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: In Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero , William Makepeace Thackeray uses hats to illustrate his mock-heroic characters and to reinforce the novel’s theme of “ Vanitas Vanitatum! ” Of these hats—including cocked hats, top hats, shovel-hats, shakos, and bonnets—the narrator’s fool’s cap is the most symbolically important. Adopting a dual perspective of “Satire and Sentiment,” the narrator shows that “All is vanity.” If the vanity of life is inescapable, he implies, then the only consolation is laughter.

ABSTRACT: As a father of two daughters educated at home, William Makepeace Thackeray knew something about German governesses: he interviewed many, employed several, and counted one among his acquaintances. In his fiction, he satirized the type in two burlesques: Miss Wirt ( The Book of Snobs , 1848) and Mlle Wallfisch ( The Adventures of Philip , 1862)—ludicrous characters intended to amuse English middle-class readers, whose bigotry he also targets. But these imaginary renderings contradicted Thackeray's real opinion of German people and culture, which was complimentary and admiring, albeit t

El objetivo principal de este tesis doctoral es el poner de relieve le evolución que se de en W. M. Thackeray en cuanto al tratamiento de la mujer y del matrimonio en sus noveles, evolución que nos lleva a pensar en un Thackeray progresista y reformista respecto de la sociedad de su tiempo. Los temas "mujer" y "matrimonio" han sido estudiados conjuntamente por considerar que en la obra de Thackeray el matrimonio aparece como la vertiente social de la mujer (el papel da ésta en la sociedad que Thackeray describe es el matrimonio), constituyendo ambos temes de este modo un todo inseparable en la

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.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the works of Peacock and the early periodical contributions of Thackeray in the light of recent twentieth-century critical interpretations of satire. In particular, attention to Peacock's use of elements of the Menippean sub-genre in his satirical fiction offers a reassessment of his place in the literary tradition. While Thackeray's early writings demonstrate some characteristics of Menippean satire, a review of his work from the broader perspective of Bakhtin's exposition of carnival influences in serio-comic literature provides a new understanding of the origins and use

Focusing on their first-person journalistic series, it argues that these writers/editors used these contributions as a means of establishing a seemingly intimate and personal relationship with their readers, and considers the various techniques that they used to develop that

This essay presents a comparative analysis of the characterizations of the female protagonists Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen̕ s Pride and Prejudice (1813), and Becky Sharp in William Makepeace Thackeray̕ s Vanity Fair (1847-1848). The analysis is conducted from a gender perspective, and with the use of feminist criticism. The two novels complement each other since they are both satirical images of society, concerning aspects such as class and gender. Also, both novels  portray women climbing the class ladder, during the period of the Napoleonic wars. In the comparison, the main focus lies on
