Vanity Fair was a masterpiece. Rebecca Sharp is one of my favorite literary villains.

“Vanity Fair was a masterpiece.”

Yes, yes, absolutely brilliant!

Thanks for posting this, happy birthday to Mr. Thackeray.

I’ve always wished to give the name Makepeace as a middle name to a child. Sadly I only had one child, so she got Elizabeth.

But maybe, some future child, it could happen!

Nice to know someone in Seattle, of all places, is celebrating this.

And Slings, my very educated mother told me that Becky Sharp is the very first of the “b*tch heroines”.

I think VF is a very important book and it certainly is rollicking!
