Editing William Makepeace Thackeray (section)

===Anti-Irish works for Punch===
In the early 1840s, Thackeray had some success with two travel books, ''The Paris Sketch Book'' and ''The Irish Sketch Book'', the latter marked by its hostility towards [[Irish Catholics]]. However, as the book appealed to [[anti-Irish sentiment]] in Britain at the time, Thackeray was given the job of being ''Punch''<nowiki/>'s Irish expert, often under the pseudonym Hibernis Hibernior ("more Irish than the Irish").<ref name=Gray-2013-01-23/> Thackeray became responsible for creating ''Punch''<nowiki/>'s notoriously hostile and negative depictions of the Irish during the [[Great Famine (Ireland)|Great Irish Famine]] of 1845 to 1851.<ref name=Gray-2013-01-23/>
