About this ebook

"Men's Wives" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a collection of three satirical short stories that serve as advertisements for bachelorhood. The three stories are "The Ravenswing", "Mr. and Mrs. Frank Berry", and "Dennis Haggerty's Wife." Each of these stories a man who realizes, contrary to popular belief, his life was much better before he got married. Thackeray shows a mature, if not inspired, view of the relations between not just men and their wives but also between husbands.

William Makepeace Thackeray

William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863) was a multitalented writer and illustrator born in British India. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where some of his earliest writings appeared in university periodicals. As a young adult he encountered various financial issues including the failure of two newspapers. It wasn’t until his marriage in 1836 that he found direction in both his life and career. Thackeray regularly contributed to Fraser's Magazine, where he debuted a serialized version of one of his most popular novels, The Luck of Barry Lyndon. He spent his decades-long career writing novels, satirical sketches and art criticism.
