Tiring of journalism rather quickly, he turned to longer forms and eventually found fame as a novelist. His remarkable if belated success as a writer contrasts strikingly with his miserable personal life; three years after their wedding, Thackeray's wife Isabella became hopelessly insane and was committed to a hospital for the rest of her life. |
