William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
Forfatter af Vanity Fair
Om forfatteren
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 vis mere 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.

Timmins' lille Middag og Cox's Dagbog af W. M. Thackeray
???
England, London, ca 1850
"Timmins' lille middag" handler om mr og mrs Fitzroy Timmins, der er af god familie og bor i et fint kvarter. Han er sagfører og tjener udmærket, så konen Rosa inviterer 20 venner og familie til fin middag. Desværre takker de allesammen ja, og der er slet ikke plads til så mange og hvem skal lave maden, hvad skal de have og hvordan får de bestik og spisestel nok? Allerede inden de er kommet ordentligt i gang har Fitzroy overtrukket sin konto. Mrs Timmins inviterer også nogle til te, hvilket selvfølgelig giver fornærmede miner hos dem, der "kun" er inviteret til te, fx Timmins bedste ven Simmins. Mr Timmins svigermor, mrs Gashleigh, kommer for at hjælpe, hvilket Fitzroy ikke er begejstret for. Fx er Rosa og hendes mor ikke enige om menuen. Rosa har fundet på at Fitzroy kan spørge henne i hans "Megatherium klub" om ikke kokken Mirobolant, kan sende en af hans hjælpekokke og på den måde lave middagen og konditorvarene hjemme for næsten ingenting.

Den handler om frisøren Sam Cox, der egentlig har en udmærket forretning og ejer en gammel familieopskrift på en hårbalsam, som giver en udmærket biindtægt. Han har en søn Tuggeridge og en datter Jemimarann og en kone Jemima. Han har en ung svend, Orlando Crump, og egentlig er hans ambition bare at Orlando og Jemimarann finder sammen og at Tug kan føre forretningen videre en dag.

Cox's dagbog er Jeppe i Baronens seng bare med forsynet som iscenesætter af løjerne. Timmins' lille middag er mest en lille moralsk historie om ikke at skræve videre end bukserne kan holde. Ret forudsigelige historier, men underholdende fortalt.… (mere)
"Timmins' lille middag" handler om mr og mrs Fitzroy Timmins, der er af god familie og bor i et fint kvarter. Han er sagfører og tjener udmærket, så konen Rosa inviterer 20 venner og familie til fin middag. Desværre takker de allesammen ja, og der er slet ikke plads til så mange og hvem skal lave maden, hvad skal de have og hvordan får de bestik og spisestel nok? Allerede inden de er kommet ordentligt i gang har Fitzroy overtrukket sin konto. Mrs Timmins inviterer også nogle til te, hvilket selvfølgelig giver fornærmede miner hos dem, der "kun" er inviteret til te, fx Timmins bedste ven Simmins. Mr Timmins svigermor, mrs Gashleigh, kommer for at hjælpe, hvilket Fitzroy ikke er begejstret for. Fx er Rosa og hendes mor ikke enige om menuen. Rosa har fundet på at Fitzroy kan spørge henne i hans "Megatherium klub" om ikke kokken Mirobolant, kan sende en af hans hjælpekokke og på den måde lave middagen og konditorvarene hjemme for næsten ingenting. Fitzroy får den unge Cavalcadour til hjælp, men denne har meget dyre vaner med indkøb.
