Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray

Monday, March 9, 6:00 PM

Thackeray’s upper-class Regency world is a noisy and jostling commercial fairground, predominantly driven by acquisitive greed and soulless materialism. Although subtitled
A Novel Without a Hero, the novel follows the fortunes of two contrasting but inter-linked lives: through the retiring Amelia Sedley and the brilliant Becky Sharp, Thackeray examines the position of women in an intensely exploitative male world.
