复古杂封面大赏——百年前的《名利场》VanityFair
复古杂封面大赏——百年前的《名利场》VanityFair《名利场》（英语：Vanity Fair）是一本美国文化、时尚和政治杂志，由康得纳斯出版公司出版。
最初的名利场出版于1913年，1935年后因为大萧条导致销量大幅下降而停刊。
我们现在知道的名利场封面是这样的：怎么有点斗鸡眼的意思?在停刊了50年后，这本杂志在1981年复刊，如今除美国本土外还在四个欧洲国家同步发行，常常刊出当红明星的肖像照、写真和合影，报道多为明星私生活，同时也包括新闻、评论、随笔等内容。
不过，我今天看到它在20世纪初的封面时，觉得这不是和《vogue》当时的封面差不多的吗？刚好是插画黄金时代，大波插画艺术家们展现才华的舞台！名利场由康得纳斯出版公司的创始人康得·纳斯创办。
最初杂志名为《服装》，是一本供男性观看的时尚杂志，1913年康得·纳斯将其名称改为《服装和名利场》Dress & Vanity Fair。
不久之后杂志改名为《名利场》Vanity Fair，并将其定位为一本以提供上流社会生活方式报道的杂志。
在主编弗兰克·克劳宁希尔德Frank Crowninshield 的努力之下，杂志很快就赢得了大众的青睐。
当时的美国民众许多为低收入移民，并不熟悉上流生活奢华的生活方式，对其神秘复杂的社交活动充满了兴趣。
1925年之后，名利场和同为康得纳斯出版公司旗下的《纽约客》一起，成为了美国最重要的文化杂志。
不过它所刊登广告的比例也颇高，这和其高昂的制作成本有关。
然而大萧条开始后，大企业无力支付广告费，广告收入骤减。
虽然1935年中的发行量达到了90000本的新高峰，名利场还是在同年12月宣布停刊，1936年起并入《时尚》杂志。

Vanity Fair 名利场 简介 英文情节
The story opens at Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Young Ladies, where the principal protagonists Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley have just completed their studies and are preparing to depart for Amelia's house in Russell Square. Becky is portrayed as a strong-willed and cunning young woman determined to make her way in society, and Amelia Sedley as a good-natured, loveable, though simple-minded young girl.At Russell Square, Miss Sharp is introduced to the dashing andself-obsessed Captain George Osborne (to whom Amelia has been betrothed from a very young age) and to Amelia's brother Joseph Sedley, a clumsy and vainglorious but rich civil-servant fresh from the East India Company. Becky entices Sedley, hoping to marry him, but she fails because of warnings from Captain Osborne, Sedley's own native shyness, and his embarrassment over some foolish drunken behavior of his that Becky had witnessed at Vauxhall.With this, Becky Sharp says farewell to Sedley's family and enters the service of the crude and profligate baronet Sir Pitt Crawley, who has engaged her as a governess to his daughters. Her behaviour at Sir Pitt's house gains his favour, and after the premature death of his second wife, he proposes to her. However, he finds that she is already secretly married to his second son, Rawdon Crawley.Sir Pitt's elder half sister, the spinster Miss Crawley, is very rich, having inherited her mother's fortune of £70,000. How she will bequeath her great wealth is a source of constant conflict between the branches of the Crawley family who vie shamelessly for her affections; initially her favorite is Sir Pitt's younger son, Captain Rawdon Crawley. For some time, Becky acts as Miss Crawley's companion, supplanting the loyal Miss Briggs in an attempt to establish herself in favor before breaking the news of her elopement with Miss Crawley's nephew. However, the misalliance so enrages Miss Crawley that she disinherits her nephew in favour of his pompous and pedantic elder brother, who also bears the name Pitt Crawley. The married couple constantly attempt to reconcile with Miss Crawley, and she relents a little. However, she will only see her nephew and refuses to change her will.While Becky Sharp is rising in the world, Amelia's father, John Sedley, is bankrupted. The Sedleys and Osbornes were once close allies, but the relationship between the two families disintegrates after the Sedleys are financially ruined, and the marriage of Amelia and George is forbidden. George ultimately decides to marry Amelia against his father's will, primarily due to the pressure of his friend Dobbin, and George is consequently disinherited. While these personal events take place, the Napoleonic Wars have been ramping up. George Osborne and William Dobbin are suddenly deployed to Brussels, but not before an encounterwith Becky and Captain Crawley at Brighton. The holiday is interrupted by orders to march to Brussels. Already, the newly wedded Osborne is growing tired of Amelia, and he becomes increasingly attracted to Becky who encourages his advances.At a ball in Brussels (based on the Duchess of Richmond's famous ball on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo) George gives Becky a note inviting her to run away with him. He regrets this shortly afterwards and reconciles with Amelia, who has been deeply hurt by his attentions towards her former friend. The morning after, he is sent to Waterloo with Captain Crawley and Dobbin, leaving Amelia distraught. Becky, on the other hand, is virtually indifferent to her husband's departure. She tries to console Amelia, but Amelia responds angrily, disgusted by Becky's flirtatious behavior with George and her lack of concern about Captain Crawley. Becky resents this snub and a rift develops between the two women that lasts for years. Becky is not very concerned for the outcome of the war, either. Should Napoleon win, she plans to become the mistress of one his marshals, and meanwhile she makes a profit selling her carriage and horses at inflated prices to panicking Britons seeking to flee the city, where the Belgian population is openly pro-Napoleonic. Captain Crawley survives, but George dies in the battle. Amelia bears him a posthumous son, who is also named George. She returns to live ingenteel poverty with her parents. Meanwhile, since the death of George, Dobbin, who is young George's godfather, gradually begins to express his love for the widowed Amelia by small kindnesses toward her and her son. Most notable is the recovery of her old piano, which Dobbin picks up at an auction following the Sedleys' ruin. Amelia mistakenly assumes this was done by her late husband. She is too much in love with George's memory to return Dobbin's affections. Saddened, he goes to India for many years. Dobbin's infatuation with Amelia is a theme which unifies the novel and one which many have compared to Thackeray's unrequited love for a friend's wife。

Having lost her father and never known financial or social security even as a child,பைடு நூலகம்Becky desires it above all things. Nearly everything she does is with the intention of securing a stable position for herself, or herself and her husband after she and Rawdon are married. She advances Rawdon's interests tirelessly, flirting with men such as General Tufto in order to get him promoted. She also uses her feminine wiles to distract men at card parties while Rawdon cheats them blind. Marrying Rawdon Crawley in secret was a mistake, as was running off instead of begging Miss Crawley's forgiveness. She also fails to manipulate Miss Crawley through Rawdon so as to obtain an inheritance. Although Becky manipulates men very easily, she does not even try to cultivate the friendship of most women.

VanityFair名利场英文简介读后感故事梗概
VanityFair名利场英文简介读后感故事梗概第一篇：Vanity Fair 名利场英文简介读后感故事梗概Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero is written by William Makepeace Thackeray.This novel tells the lives of two starkly contrasted girls: Becky Sharp, orphaned and poor but ingenious, and Amelia Sedley, sheltered daughter of a rich city merchant.They two meet at Miss Pinkerton’s Academy for young ladies, the former driven by social ambition, while the latter by her delicate heart.And it satirizes the society in early 19th-century Britain.The book gives me an entire view of the life which is pretty extravagant.It tells us that Becky is a beautiful, strong-willed and cunning young woman who is determined to make her way to the upper society.She makes every possible effort by hooking or by crooking to get rid of poverty.And she failed in the end.By contrast, Amelia Sedley is a good-natured, loveable though simple-minded young girl.She does not understand what life is.And she is portrayed by her husband and friend Becky.She is such a coward that she does not run counter to her fate and always accepts the reality quite contently as it is.She is so pitiful and conventional.Yet God blesses her, she comes across a perfect man Dobbin and gets married to him at last.After finished reading, I found that a vanity fair is a hypocritical, commercial and money-grabbing aristocratic society.Although the book was written in the 19th century, it still can reflect the reality nowadays.In our society, some people are unable to see things clearly.They are confused because their minds are full of wealth, power, vanity and so on.And they become slaves of vanity eventually.Since vanity fair is a trap that everyone is likely to step into, we had better be careful when weare pursuing something.第二篇：名利场读后感《名利场》读后感---现实与美好看来我还是喜欢那种令人满意的结局，虽然算不上皆大欢喜，不过也够令人为主人公欢呼喝彩的了，名利场读后感。
