Thackeray's father passed away four years later, and young William was sent to boarding school in London. Many of his early experiences in India and later in boarding school found their way into several of his popular works, including Vanity Fair and The Newcomes After his premature departure from Cambridge University and a half-hearted attempt at law school in 1834, Thackeray moved to Paris to concentrate on his art. While studying there, he met and married Isabella Getkin Creach Shawe (1818-1893). The couple had three daughters, Anne Isabella, Harriet Marrian, and Jane who died at age eighteen months. Soon after her daughter's death, Isabella Thackeray suffered a nervous breakdown from which she never recovered.

William Makepeace Thackeray was one of the great novelists of the English Victorian Age. His Vanity Fair is one of the finest and best-known novels in English literature. Thackeray wrote in a colorful, lively style, with a simple vocabulary and clearly structured sentences. These qualities, combined with his honest view of life, give him an important place in the history of realistic literature. Early career . Thackeray was born on July 18, 1811, in Calcutta (now Kolkata), India. At the age of 5, he was sent to England to live with relatives and begin his education. He was lonely and unhappy during his school years. "I have the same recollection of Greek in youth that I have of castor oil," Thackeray once said. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge University, in 1829. No great scholar, he left after a year and a half to travel abroad.
