William Thackerays Vanity Fair was first published in the 1840s, but its power to entertain & provoke debate remains as strong as ever.

The tales of charismatic, shrewd, & amoral Becky Sharps journey from Miss Pinkertons academy for young ladies to a wider world in which wealth & status is valued above all else is arguably as relevant today as it was nearly 200 years ago: Becky & her equally flawed friends & acquaintances are familiar to us all.
