Even when I’m feeling like I am on a good row of writing, the thought of writing something that nearly eclipses the Bible or trying to shake things up with my political ideas is ridiculous; but, that’s why I took up blogging because short, non-confrontational pieces work for me, and, apparently, both long and short confrontational and epic pieces worked for Defoe.
Thackeray was born in Calcutta in 1811, but after the death of his father, who succumbed to fever in 1815, he moved back to England for education.
