β¦ Synopsis
Born in Calcutta in 1811, William Makepeace Thackeray's earliest works were sharp satirical barbs written under a variety of pen names. After struggling through a rocky start as an author, Thackeray would go on to write several well-loved novels, including Vanity Fair , The Luck of Barry Lyndon , and Catherine. In Men's Wives , Thackeray turns his keen perception and cutting wit to the subject of romantic--and not-so-romantic--relationships.
