A new article at William Thackeray needs to have its content merged with this article. -- Infrogmation 20:32, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Is anyone still working on this article? It begins well enough with the first few paragraphs; then suddenly we find ourselves dropped off in Tunbridge Wells, and without a return ticket. What happened to the rest of his life, his literary reputation, and a critical summary of his work? InvisibleSun 11:35, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
It should be noted that his Snob Papers in Punch were 52. The Book of Snobs contains only 45 of them. Does anyone know where I could find the other 7 articles missing out of the book? I should like to add that the articles where written from March 1846 to February 1847. The book was published in 1848. In the article it mentioned 1846 as the publication year by I corrected it.

I have updated and rewritten the article to bring it more in line with modern scholarship (thackeray798@yahoo.com).
[edit] What about Barry Lyndon?
How is he "known almost exclusively as the author of Vanity Fair?"
He wrote the novel that became a movie that won four Oscars.
[edit] Why is he "gigantic"?
I am curious to know why Jane Carlyle refersto William Thackeray as "the gigantic Thackeray".
She does this in a letter to her cousin, Jeannie "Babbie" Welsh (dated 23rd Dec., 1843, and published in "The Virago Book of Christmas" by Michelle Lovric); and in the context of the letter, it seems to refer to his physical stature than rather than to his stature in society. --peter_english (talk) 22:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Heart spasm
Thackery reported to be died of spasms of heart.I think it's better to state it the same instead of using ' stroke ' to save readers from any confusion.--Mike robert (talk) 23:39, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
