William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair is one of the great novels of nineteenth century English literature, offering a brilliant satire of society ambition and moral pretence during the Napoleonic era. First published in monthly parts in 1847 to 1848, the novel follows the fortunes of the resourceful and scheming Becky Sharp and the gentle Amelia Sedley as they navigate the social world of Regency England. Combining wit, sharp observation and memorable characters, Vanity Fair remains one of the defining works of Victorian fiction. This Folio Society edition presents Thackeray's classic novel in an elegant modern format, produced to the high standards of design and craftsmanship for which the Society is well known.
