Giới thiệu về tác giả

William Makepeace Thackeray, born in Calcutta, British India, on July 18, 1811, was a renowned English novelist of the 19th century known for his satirical works that rendered a detailed, often sardonic, portrayal of English society. A leading author of the Victorian era, Thackeray studied at Cambridge but left without a degree, turning to journalism and literature. He authored numerous novels, the most celebrated being ‘Vanity Fair’ (1847-1848), which remains a classic in English literature, epitomizing his sharp wit and narrative skill. ‘The Rose and the Ring’ (1855), a whimsical yet satirical fantasy, exemplifies Thackeray’s penchant for comic-opera style burlesques, which both amuse and criticize human follies through fantasy elements. In this work, Thackeray indulges in playful mock-heroic tropes and the moral implications of power and vanity—a common theme across his larger body of work. His literary style combines conversational prose with a pervasive ironic tone, frequently addressing the reader directly. Despite his humor, Thackeray’s descriptive capabilities also evoke sincere sentimentality and emotional depth. Thackeray’s influence extends beyond his novels, as he contributed to the satirical magazine ‘Punch’ and worked as an editor for the ‘Cornhill Magazine’. He died on December 24, 1863, leaving behind a legacy as a master of prose and a keen observer of the ironies of human nature.
