Z BECKFORD, William, West Indian planter, born in Jamaica in December 1709; died in London, 21 June 1770. After receiving his education in England, he fell heir to large plantations in the West Indies, and, entering public life, became a member of parliament and alderman of London, and in 1762, and again in 1768, was elected lord mayor of London. With John Wilkes, he led the popular opposition, and on 23 May 1770, delivered a memorable remonstrance to the king, complaining of the falsification of election returns. He left estates worth £100,000 a year, and a million of money. His son was the author of "Vathek."

In 1770 he inherited an enormous fortune. He travelled extensively in continental Europe, collecting books and works of art. In 1782 he wrote his principal work, Vathek: An Arabian Tale, in French. It was published in English in 1786 and in the original French in 1787. The fantastic, grandiose, and exotic elements in this tale are consonant with the style of Gothic novels , which were popular during the latter half of the 18th century. This book, as well as Beckford's extravagant estates, decadent lifestyle, and his aloofness from society, gave him the reputation of being a morose and eccentric genius. Beckford also wrote two burlesques of sentimental novels, Modern Novel Writing: or, the Elegant Enthusiast
