Men's Wives is a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1852. The story follows the lives of several married couples, exploring the complexities and challenges of marriage and relationships. The main character, Mr. Brown, is a wealthy merchant who is married to a beautiful and charming woman named Amelia. However, Mr. Brown becomes increasingly jealous and suspicious of his wife's interactions with other men, leading to a series of misunderstandings and conflicts. Meanwhile, other couples in the novel also struggle with issues of infidelity, social status, and financial stability. Thackeray's novel offers a satirical and critical commentary on Victorian society and its attitudes towards marriage and gender roles. With its insightful characterizations and witty dialogue, Men's Wives remains a classic work of English literature.Crump married Miss Budge, so well known to the admirers of the festive dance on the other side of the water as Miss Delancy; and they had one daughter, named Morgiana, after that celebrated part in the Forty Thieves which Miss Budge performed with unbounded applause both at the Surrey and The Wells. Mrs. Crump sat in a little bar, profusely ornamented with pictures of the dancers of all ages, from Hillisberg, Rose, Parisot, who plied the light fantastic toe in 1805, down to the Sylphides of our day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
