It is the genius of Thackeray to bring these two characters into all sorts of trying situations where the reader may see their true characters revealed, and never truly to take the side of either. Sweet, timid, and demure, she is Becky’s polar opposite. (We could write an essay about the moment that Becky flings Johnson’s dictionary out the window as she goes an ingenious symbol of her rejection of civilized society and its restrictions.) Vanity Fair may be a novel without a hero, but it has two heroines, for Becky has one friend at Pinkerton’s, her alter ego, Amelia Sedley. She hates the place, and particularly the snobbish Miss Pinkerton, and the narrative opens with her gleeful, bitter escape. Of lowly birth, she is brought up at Miss Pinkerton’s fashionable boarding school where her father was once the drawing master. Subtitled, “A Novel Without a Hero,” Vanity Fair shows us our imperfections while quietly encouraging us to strive for something higher.īecky Sharp, the aptly named “heroine” of Vanity Fair, is a surprising, entertaining, and rather unsettling character. It was a book that portrayed human nature with all its weaknesses, yet did so against the backdrop of a high moral idealism. Vanity Fair represented a new kind of novel in English. Where Dickens was sentimental and even pedantic, Thackeray maintained a cool, ironic stance that both infuriated and delighted readers.
#VEIN OF STARS GENIUS SERIAL#
Thackeray, trained as a critic and essayist, wrote in the serial form popularized by Dickens but in a very different style. Bronte idolized Thackeray, to whom she dedicated the second edition of Jane Eyre. Dickens was the undisputed master of English novelists for a decade his novels had appeared in quick succession and had been wildly popular. All three authors were keenly aware of each other. Vanity Fair, by William Makepeace Thackeray, was published in installments in 1847-8: the same year that saw the publication of Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, and the year before David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens. Thackeray’s comic masterpiece shows us our imperfections while quietly encouraging us to strive for something higher. A Beautiful Vein of Genius: Vanity Fair, by William Makepeace Thackeray
