## Bio

Born in Calcutta in 1811, Thackeray was shipped to England at four after his father died, then gambled away his inheritance and watched two newspapers collapse beneath him. He turned to magazine work - Fraser's, Punch, The Times - filing satirical sketches under pseudonyms, savage little portraits of rogues and hypocrites that found an audience. Vanity Fair arrived in 1847, a panoramic takedown of British society that made his name and briefly put him second only to Dickens. His wife Isabella's mental illness ran parallel to his career; his later novels (Pendennis, The Newcomes) softened in tone, trading the early venom for something closer to melancholy. He edited the Cornhill Magazine in 1860, ran for Parliament and lost in 1857, ate and drank too much, stopped moving. A stroke killed him in 1863 at fifty-two.
