About the book

William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair follows the contrasting fortunes of the ambitious Becky Sharp and the gentle Amelia Sedley against the background of early nineteenth-century British society. Determined to rise beyond her modest origins, Becky uses intelligence, charm and manipulation to advance through a world dominated by wealth and social status. Thackeray's famously satirical "novel without a hero" examines ambition, hypocrisy, marriage and the relentless pursuit of respectability.
