I do have one Thackeray poem on the blog, "The Mahogany Tree," which I'm
very happy to have since it's one of the few secular Christmas poems
I've been happy to present. But I'd rather talk about my wiki.
I know some people complain about that as 'self-serving,' but in fact
the wiki is there as a service to everyone. Case in point: this thread.
Zod's done an excellent job of bringing an overlooked poet to attention,
and googling all over the web to find his bio and a selection of his
poetry. That was a lot of work, and I don't want to denigrate it in any
way.
I do want to point out that one doesn't have to do all that work. All
that someone interested in learning more about Thackeray has to do is go
to one site, Penny's Poetry Pages:
https://pennyspoetry.fandom.com/wiki/William_Makepeace_Thackeray
There you'll find:
(1) a short bio (from the /Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/)
(2) an in-depth bio, much better than the Wikipedia one (from the 1911 /Britannica/)
(3) a critical assessment of his poetry (from /The English Poets/ series)
(4) 2 pictures of him (a portrait photo and a caricature)
(4) 4 readings of Thackeray poems embedded from YouTube)
(5) links to more than 100 of his poems
(6) links to both his collections of poetry, /Ballads/ and /Complete
Poems/ (and to all his novels as well).
You can find all of this elsewhere on the web, but not in one place;
you'd have to google all over the web for it, like poor Zod (and poor
NG) have been having to do.
I've been trying for years to make PPP into a one-stop site for learning about poets and poetry, I think it's a superior alternative to searching through the web for it, and I think it's time to start promoting it more along with, or even above, the blog.
