Vanity Fair-the first novel he published under his own name- appeared in monthly installments in 1847-8. It is set in the Regency period, during and after the battle of Waterloo. As a child, when his ship called at St. Helena en route for England, Thackeray had seen Napoleon walking in the gardens of Longwood: this memory surfaces in the novel.
