A panoramic satire of English society during the Napoleonic Wars, Vanity Fair is William Makepeace Thackerayâs masterpiece. At its center is one of the most unforgettable characters in nineteenth-century literature: the enthralling Becky Sharp, a charmingly ruthless social climber who is determined to leave behind her humble origins, no matter the cost. Her more gentle friend Amelia, by contrast, only cares for Captain George Osborne, despite his selfishness and her familyâs disapproval. As both women move within the flamboyant milieu of Regency England, the political turmoil of the era is matched by the scheming Beckyâs sensational riseâand its unforeseen aftermath.
Â
Based in part upon Thackerayâs own love for the wife of a friend, Vanity Fair portrays the hypocrisy and corruption of high society and the dangers of unrestrained ambition with epic brilliance and scathing wit. With an introduction by Catherine Peters.
