Vanity Fair is perhaps Thackerays most well-known novel. First serialized during the period of 19 amounts in Punch Mag and first paper as an individual level in 1849, the novel cemented Thackerays literary fame and kept him occupied with recurrent revisions and even lecture circuits. The storyplot is framed as a puppet play, narrated by an unreliable narrator, that presents the story of Becky Clear and Emmy Sedley and the individuals in their lives as they struggle through the Napoleonic Wars. The storyplot itself, like a great many other Thackeray novels, is a satire of the lives of the Victorian English of a certain class. Thackeray stuffed the novel with allusions, many of that have been difficult even for his modern day readers; part of the heavy revision work later he performed on Vanity Fair later in his life was revising it to help make the allusions more accessible to his evolving audience. As part of his satirical bent, Thackeray made a point to make each personality flawed, so that we now have no heroes in the book-hence the subtitle A Novel With out a Hero. Thackerays goal was not only to amuse, but to instruct; compared to that end, he desired the audience to look within themselves after completing the unhappy finish, in which theres no hint as to how society might be able to improve on the evils shadowed in the happenings of novel. Vanity Fair received glowing praise by its critical contemporaries, and remains a popular reserve well into modern times, having been adapted repeatedly for film, radio, and television set.
