Author: William Makepeace Thackeray Brand: Wordsworth Editions Ltd Edition: Classic Edition Binding: Paperback Number Of Pages: 720 Release Date: 04-01-1998 Part Number: 9781853260 193 Details: Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray. Thackeray's upper-class Regency world is a noisy and jostling commercial fairground, predominantly driven by acquisitive greed and soulless materialism, in which the narrator himself plays a brilliantly versatile role as a serio-comic observer. Although subtitled 'A Novel without a Hero', Vanity Fair follows the fortunes of two contrasting but inter-linked lives: through the retiring Amelia Sedley and the brilliant Becky Sharp, Thackeray examines the position of women in an intensely exploitative male world.
