關於這本電子書

In 'Thackeray' by Anthony Trollope, readers are provided with an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the life and works of the celebrated Victorian novelist, William Makepeace Thackeray. Trollope delves into the literary style and thematic concerns of Thackeray's major works, such as 'Vanity Fair' and 'Pendennis', showcasing his ability to blend social satire with moral introspection. The book also explores the historical and cultural context in which Thackeray wrote, shedding light on the turbulent times of the 19th century. Trollope's engaging writing style and deep research make this book a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Victorian literature. Anthony Trollope, a renowned Victorian author himself, was well-equipped to write a biography of Thackeray, given his own experience in the literary world. Trollope's admiration for Thackeray's wit and storytelling prowess shines through in this book, offering readers a unique perspective on the life and legacy of the esteemed novelist. I highly recommend 'Thackeray' to anyone interested in Victorian literature, as it provides a thorough examination of one of the era's most influential writers. Trollope's nuanced analysis and compelling narrative make this book a must-read for literary enthusiasts.

關於作者

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era, renowned for his prolific writing and his keen observations of the social classes. Trollope's literary style is marked by his richly textured characters, intricate plots, and a blending of humor and moral seriousness. Among his well-loved works are the series of novels known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which included 'The Warden' (1855) and 'Barchester Towers' (1857), and the Palliser novels that depicted the political milieu of his time. 'Thackeray' (1879) is an example of his prowess in literary criticism; in this book, Trollope explores the life and works of his contemporary, William Makepeace Thackeray, offering insights into the creative genius of the famed author of 'Vanity Fair.' Not merely a novelist, Trollope was a keen social commentator, and his writings often reflect the issues and challenges of the British clerical establishment and the gentry, thus providing a window into Victorian society. His autobiography, 'An Autobiography' (1883), published posthumously, is a candid self-assessment and a valuable resource for understanding his approach to literature and writing practices.
