Chapter 7
The 1850s and early 1860s were a period of financial prosperity for Thackeray. The success of his novels and lecture tours through Great Britain and the United States ensured a steady income, and he was finally able to save money for his daughters and enjoy the more comfortable life of a literary celebrity.
