William Makepeace Thackeray

William Makepeace Thackeray was a nineteenth century English novelist who was most famous for his classic novel, Vanity Fair, a satirical portrait of English society. With an early career as a satirist and parodist, Thackeray shared a fondness for roguish characters that is evident in his early works such as Vanity Fair, The Luck of Barry Lyndon, and Catherine, and was ranked second only to Charles Dickens during the height of his career. In his later work, Thackeray transitioned from the satirical tone for which he was known to a more traditional Victorian narrative, the most notable of which is The History of Henry Esmond. Thackeray died in 1863.

    The reader is dry and sounds like she has a cold. I could not get through the first chapter.

    I love the book, however the readers leave a lot to be desired. I tolerated the first 12 chapters (the male British reader was ok) but little attention has been paid to correct pronunciation (Greenwich, Harwich, Norwich etc). Then the male reader (chapter 13+) reads far too quickly, with poor intonation, never mind pronunciation. It’s garbled. He even pronounced words incorrectly in American English (eg propinquity, premises, prodigious). It’s such an English book, it just sounds wrong in a non-British accent. Similarly, if a reader read ‘Tom Sawyer’ in a perfect British accent, it would sound ridiculous.
    I hope the reader switches soon so I can finish the book.

    I liked the company of Thackeray who is breezy, ebullient and cynical about everyone’s motives. And he’s very confident too. He thinks he knows everything, although there’s not a word about how the poor live here, that’s not his subject. So he’s like the mid-19th century version of Tom Wolfe or Jonathan Franzen, two authors (among many others) who also think they know everything. I don’t mind them thinking that. It’s a good quality in a writer who’s trying to depict all of society.
