Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero is a novel by English author William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1847&ndash;48, satirising society in early 19th-century Britain. It follows the lives of two women, Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, amid their friends and family. The novel is now considered a classic, and has inspired several film adaptations. In 2003, Vanity Fair was listed at #122 on the BBC&#39;s The Big Read poll of the UK&#39;s best-loved books.<br /><br />The book&#39;s title comes from John Bunyan&#39;s allegorical story The Pilgrim&#39;s Progress,first published in 1678 and still widely read at the time of Thackeray&#39;s novel. In that work, &quot;Vanity Fair&quot; refers to a stop along the pilgrim&#39;s route: a never-ending fair held in a town called Vanity, which is meant to represent man&#39;s sinful attachment to worldly things.
