520			_a"Thackeray" by Anthony Trollope is a biographical piece written in the late 19th century. This work is part of the "English Men of Letters" series, aimed at exploring the lives and achievements of notable writers. Trollope delves into the life of William Makepeace Thackeray, focusing on his journey as an author and the challenges he faced throughout his career, offering insights into both his personal and professional life. The opening of this biography introduces readers to the notion that there has been no comprehensive memoir written about Thackeray despite his prominence in literature. Trollope discusses Thackeray's reluctance towards personal flattery in biographical accounts, thus explaining why his daughters maintained an air of privacy surrounding their father's life. It outlines Thackeray's early years, including anecdotes from his childhood, education, and initial struggles in establishing himself as an author amid the literary competition of his time. The chapter sets the tone for a deeper exploration of Thackeray's works and character, examining the intertwining of his life experiences with his literary endeavors, foreshadowing further exploration of his notable contributions to literature.
