About the author

William Makepeace Thackeray

Thackeray was Dickens's great rival and the supreme Victorian ironist, whose Vanity Fair anatomises social climbing and moral hypocrisy with unsparing wit. His satire of the privileged classes remains sharper and more unsentimental than anything in Dickens.
