Talk:Richard Steele

Marriage?
From this article: "They were a devoted couple, their correspondence still being regarded as one of the best illustrations of a happy marriage."

From the article on his wife, Mary Steele: "However, the marriage was a stormy one, and for much of it, Steele was in London and Mary in Wales. By the time of her death, she was seriously considering a permanent separation because Steele drank heavily and was constantly in debt."

Which?

Appearance in historical fiction
The young Richard Steele appears as a character in William Makepeace Thackeray's novel Henry Esmond. Is this appropriate to mention in the article, do y'all reckon? --Jim Henry 14:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
