Vanity Fair : Annotated Edition (Alma Classics Evergreens), Paperback / softback Book

Vanity Fair : Annotated Edition (Alma Classics Evergreens) Paperback / softback

Part of the Evergreens series

Paperback / softback

Description

"The friends Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley leave Miss Pinkerton’s school together, ready to forge their paths in the tawdry and cut-throat world of the early nineteenth century.

The scheming, brilliant and ruthless orphan Becky is better equipped than any to scale the heights of Regency society.

Amelia, however, is sweet, quiet and passive, and longs for nothing more than the love of the self-obsessed and raffish soldier George Osborne.

Amidst the machinations and jostling for wealth and status, Captain William Dobbin, with his hidden love for Amelia, stands alone as a steadfast, selfless and dutiful man. Woven into the climactic events of the Napoleonic Wars, and set against a backdrop of gaudy elegance and merciless personal ambition, Vanity Fair is an epic and sweeping satire, and a landmark of English literature."
