'''''Vanity Fair''''' is a novel by [[William Makepeace Thackeray]], first published in installments in 1847-48. In a darkly comic manner, it tells the story of the adventuress Becky Sharp, satirizing the follies of bourgeois and aristocratic life in early nineteenth-century England. The title "Vanity Fair" is taken from [[John Bunyan]]'s ''[[Pilgrim's Progress]]'', and the novel borrowed from that evangelical classic: Becky is like Pilgrim while Thackeray is akin to Faithful.
