Description

“Vanity Fair” is a novel written by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1847-48 as a serial and later as a single volume. The novel is set against the backdrop of early 19th-century England and follows the lives of two women, Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, as they navigate through the social hierarchy of the time.

Becky Sharp is a cunning and ambitious woman from a lower-class background who is determined to climb the social ladder through any means necessary. In contrast, Amelia Sedley is a gentle and naive woman from a wealthy family who is more concerned with love and romance than with social status.

The novel is known for its satirical portrayal of English society, particularly its critique of the shallowness, hypocrisy, and moral corruption prevalent among the upper classes. Thackeray uses sharp wit and irony to expose the flaws and follies of his characters, offering a scathing commentary on the values and mores of his time.

“Vanity Fair” is often regarded as one of the greatest novels in the English language and a masterpiece of social satire. It remains popular for its richly drawn characters, its vivid depiction of Regency-era England, and its timeless exploration of themes such as ambition, greed, love, and morality.
