siria 's review for:

Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray

4.0

---

Deeply problematic in a number of respects—Thackeray had an incredible level of internalised misogyny and distrust towards women—[b:Vanity Fair|5797|Vanity Fair|William Makepeace Thackeray|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1344386439s/5797.jpg|1057468] is still an awful lot of rather wicked fun. Becky Sharpe makes for a memorable anti-heroine, and even the virtuous Amelia has enough flaws not to make her insufferable. It's intensely Victorian in a number of ways, but as an example of well-done satire, it has few to equal it.
