Sketches of Young Couples (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161452907)

Sketches of Young Couples is a collection of short stories written by the renowned English author Charles Dickens. The book was first published in 1837 and features a series of humorous and satirical sketches that explore the lives and relationships of young couples in Victorian England.Each story in the collection focuses on a different couple and their experiences with courtship, marriage, and domestic life. From the awkward first encounters of a shy young couple to the bitter arguments of a long-married pair, Dickens captures the joys and struggles of love and relationships with his trademark wit and insight.The stories in Sketches of Young Couples are filled with memorable characters, including the overbearing mother-in-law, the bumbling suitor, and the flirtatious young woman. Through their interactions and conflicts, Dickens provides a window into the social and cultural norms of Victorian England, as well as his own commentary on the intricacies of human relationships.Overall, Sketches of Young Couples is a charming and entertaining collection of stories that showcases Dickens' skill as a storyteller and his keen observation of human nature. It is a must-read for fans of classic literature and anyone interested in the social history of nineteenth-century England.Everything with the formal couple resolves itself into a matter of form. They don't call upon you on your account, but their own; not to see how you are, but to show how they are: it is not a ceremony to do honour to you, but to themselves, - not due to your position, but to theirs. If one of a friend's children die, the formal couple are as sure and punctual in sending to the house as the undertaker; if a friend's family be increased, the monthly nurse is not more attentive than they.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
