William Makepeace Thackeray was a prolific nineteenth century novelist known for his comprehensive portrait of English society through his satirical novels. During the Victorian era Thackeray was counted among one of the greatest authors of the time, second only to Charles Dickens. Though many of his works are not so widely read, he is counted among the greats of the English literary canon of the nineteenth century, and an example of the characteristic style of that period.
