About this title: 1859. Vanity Fair is Thackeray's masterpiece, but he also showed great skill in writing historical fiction with fine attention to period manners and customs and a dispassionate sympathy for his character's actions. The Virginians details the lives of George and Harry Warrington, the grandsons of Henry Esmond. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
