Life and work of W.M. THACKERAY
W.M.Thackeray is one of the world-known realists. Besides he was one of the biggest satirists in England. Specific feature and strength of his talent found their reflection in his satirical accusation of the bourgeois-aristocratic society. His contribution to the development of novel is connected with working out a form of novel-family chronicle, disclosing private life of heroes partly connected with social life.

He was the contemporary of the chartist movement. His literary works reflected the spirit (mood) of the public mass. His satire was directed against the ruling classes’ hypocrisy and vanity. Thackerey was from a well-to-do family. His father was a tax collector in Calcutta. After his father's death young William was sent to England. It happened when he was 6. In 1829 Thackeray entered Cambridge University (could not graduate from it).

Early period of Thackerey’s literary activity is connected with journalism (1829-1845). He wrote articles, essays and published them in Frazer’s Magazine, later in a weekly "Punch". Later his first stories came into being.
