Edition / Printing Notes Houghton Mifflin Company / Riverside Press Cambridge, Boston; first published January 1, 1963; Riverside Editions B66; not stated, presumed first edition. Edited with an introduction and notes by Geoffrey and Kathleen Tillotson, University of London ? the authoritative scholarly edition of the text for the period, widely assigned in university courses throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Includes 40 illustration plates drawn by Thackeray himself; bibliography; xli pages of editorial apparatus including introduction and notes; 680 pages total. The Riverside Editions series was Houghton Mifflin's flagship scholarly paperback imprint for college courses ? a historically significant quality paperback series comparable in prestige to the Norton Critical Editions. A satirical epic of love and social adventure set during the Napoleonic Wars, Vanity Fair follows the trials and tribulations of two young women ? the charming and amoral Becky Sharp and the sweet, loyal Amelia Sedley ? as they navigate elopements and betrayals, fortunes made and lost, and battles both military and domestic. At its centre is one of the most unforgettable characters in nineteenth-century fiction ? Becky Sharp, a panoramic figure in Thackeray's masterpiece of English social satire. The Tillotson Riverside Edition is the standard scholarly text of this period, widely regarded as the most authoritative editorial treatment of the novel for classroom use, and includes Thackeray's own 40 illustrations alongside Geoffrey and Kathleen Tillotson's authoritative introduction and notes from the University of London. An exceptionally clean copy of a heavily assigned course text ? unmarked and unwritten throughout, which is genuinely rare in this format. Signed by Author(s).
