It chronicles the lives of two women who could not be more different: Becky Sharp, an orphan whose only resources are her vast ambitions, her native wit, and her loose morals; and her schoolmate Amelia Sedley, a typically naive Victorian heroine, the pampered daughter of a wealthy family. Becky's fluctuating fortunes eventually bring her to an affair with Amelia's dissolute husband; when he is killed at Waterloo, Amelia and her child are left penniless, while Becky and her husband Rawdon Crawley rise in the world, managing to lead a high life in London solely on the basis of their shrewdness. Vanity Fair has endured as one of the great comic novels of all time, and a landmark in the history of realism in fiction.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C891712</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C891712</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thackeray, William Makepeace, 1811-1863]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/891712037</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity Fair]]></title><description><![CDATA["I think I could be a good woman, if I had five thousand a year," observes beautiful and clever Becky Sharp, one of the wickedest and most appealing women in all of literature.

The tales of charismatic, shrewd, and amoral Becky Sharp's journey from Miss Pinkerton's academy for young ladies to a wider world in which wealth and status is valued above all else is arguably as relevant today as it was nearly 200 years ago: Becky and her equally flawed friends and acquaintances are familiar to us all. This, the official companion to the ITV series contains everything a fan could want to know about the story. It explores the characters Thackeray so memorably created and the society they inhabited, along with fascinating insights about the period. And it offers location guides, behind the scenes details, and interviews with the cast, alongside beautiful illustrations and set photography. Taking readers from London society to the battlefields of Waterloo, the book gets right to the heart of one of the greatest novels ever written.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1028822</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1028822</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marriott, Emma]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1028822037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cavalcade of the 1920s and 1930s]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1733851</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1733851</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1960 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1733851037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Selections From America&apos;s Most Memorable Magazine &apos;Vanity Fair&apos;</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vanity Fair Diaries]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tina Brown kept delicious daily diaries throughout her eight spectacular years as editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. Today they provide an incendiary portrait of the flash and dash and power brokering of the Excessive Eighties in New York and Hollywood. The Vanity Fair Diaries is the story of an Englishwoman barely out of her twenties who arrives in New York City with a dream. Summoned from London in hopes that she can save CondE Nast's troubled new flagship Vanity Fair, Tina Brown is immediately plunged into the maelstrom of the competitive New York media world and the backstabbing rivalries at the court of the planet's slickest, most glamour-focused magazine company. She survives the politics, the intrigue, and the attempts to derail her by a simple stratagem: succeeding. In the face of rampant skepticism, she triumphantly reinvents a failing magazine. Here are the inside stories of Vanity Fair scoops and covers that sold millions-the Reagan kiss, the meltdown of Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Charles, the sensational Annie Leibovitz cover of a gloriously pregnant, naked Demi Moore. In this cinematic audiobook, the drama, the comedy, and the struggle of running an "it" magazine come to life. Brown's Vanity Fair Diaries is also a woman's journey, of making a home in a new country and of the deep bonds with her husband, their prematurely born son, and their daughter. Astute, open-hearted, often riotously funny, Tina Brown's The Vanity Fair Diaries is a compulsively fascinating and intimate chronicle of a woman's life in a glittering era.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1008221</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1008221</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brown, Tina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1008221037</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>1983-1992</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vanity Fair Diaries]]></title><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1010272</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1010272</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brown, Tina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1010272037</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>1983-1992</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity Fair, 100 Years]]></title><description><![CDATA[Vanity Fair 100 Years showcases a century of personality and power, art and commerce, crisis and culture both highbrow and low.

Not only was he confronted with staff loyal to the previous regime, but he arrived only a few years after launching Spy magazine, which gloried in skewering the celebrities and power brokers of New York City the very people Vanity Fair venerated. But with the curiosity, fearlessness, and penchant for glamour and reinvention that would come to define his career in magazines, Carter endeared himself to his editors, contributors, and the many faces that would come to appear in Vanity Fair's pages, and went on to run the magazine with overwhelming success for the next two and a half decades. Growing up in Ottawa, Carter constantly sought out books, magazines, and movies about New York. Instead of finishing college, he helped launch a literary magazine, The Canadian Review, and found his stride. Moving to New York in 1978, he secured a position at Time magazine, working alongside Walter Isaacson, Michiko Kakutani, and Frank Rich, but it wasn't long until he and his colleague Kurt Anderson came up with the idea for Spy a magazine that fused reportage and satire, and immortalized the zeitgeist that was Manhattan in the 80s. His work eventually caught the eye of Conde Nast chairman Si Newhouse, who pulled him in to run Vanity Fair at the height of its powers, and fill the position vacated by Tina Brown. Filled with colourful memories and intimate details, When the Going was Good is Graydon Carter's lively recounting of how he made his mark as one of the most talented editors in the business. In Si he found an unwavering champion, a loyal proprietor who gave Carter the freedom to thrive. Annie Leibovitz's photographs would come to define the look of the magazine, as would the annual Hollywood issue. Carter planted a flag with the Vanity Fair Oscar party which he established early on during his tenure - and dialed up the coverage of stars, producers, directors and agents. With his inimitable voice and signature quip, he brings readers to lunches with Anna Wintour, a dinner for Princess Margaret, and film festivals spent on the yachts of media heavyweights. He dives deep into the impactful work of the writers he brought to the masthead, including Christopher Hitchens, Michael Lewis, and Bryan Burrough, and recreates in real time the steps he took to ensure Vanity Fair cemented its place as the epicenter of art, culture, and politics, even as digital media took hold. Charming, candid, and brimming with stories of the famous and fabulous, When the Going Was Good perfectly captures the golden age of print from the inside out.]]></description><link>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1565809</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S37C1565809</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carter, Graydon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://christchurch.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1565809037</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Editor&apos;s Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[E.
