Publisher Description: William Makepeace Thackeray's classic tale of Regency high society is a study in materialism and greed in which his narrator is a comically satirical oberserver. Vanity Fair follows the lives within this soul-less upper-class society of two women who are linked despite their contrasting natures... for while Becky is brilliant but calculating, Amelia is shy and trusting. Through their lives, Thackeray examines the roles of women in their male-dominated society. Vanity Fair rightly retains its status as a classic more than a hundred and sixty years after its first publication, and is one of the most influential novels of the 19th Century. |
