Brilliant anti-heroine Becky Sharp will do anything to climb to society's loftiest heights and couldn't be more different from her rich, sweet-natured schoolmate, Amelia Sedley. Their parallel lives are marked by love, lust, marriage, fortune and loss, in all their different guises, as they navigate the corrupt circus of upper-class Regency England.

Hailed as a literary masterpiece upon first publication, Vanity Fair has never waned in popularity and remains a highly entertaining satire of early nineteenth century high society. This gorgeous edition includes an afterword by the prizewinning author and critic, Henry Hitchings.
