Vanity Fair is William Makepeace Thackeray's panoramic novel of ambition, social maneuvering, and moral compromise in early nineteenth-century England.

Subtitled A Novel Without a Hero, the book follows the contrasting fortunes of Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley as they navigate society during the Napoleonic era. Through courtship, financial instability, war, and shifting alliances, Thackeray constructs a broad portrait of a culture preoccupied with status and appearance. Becky's intelligence and adaptability propel her upward through wit and calculation, while Amelia's gentler disposition exposes the vulnerabilities of idealism within a competitive world.
