Sketches Of Young Gentlemen (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169200258)

Sketches of Young Gentlemen is a collection of humorous and satirical sketches written by Charles Dickens. The book, first published in 1838, is a series of character portraits that lampoon the social and cultural norms of the time. The sketches poke fun at the pretensions and foibles of young men from various walks of life, including students, lawyers, doctors, and artists. Through these sketches, Dickens exposes the superficiality and hypocrisy of the upper classes, while also highlighting the struggles of the lower classes. The book is a witty and insightful commentary on the Victorian era, and a testament to Dickens' skill as a humorist and social critic.There is an amiable kind of young gentleman going about in society, upon whom, after much experience of him, and considerable turning over of the subject in our mind, we feel it our duty to affix the above appellation. Young ladies mildly call him a 'sarcastic' young gentleman, or a 'severe' young gentleman. We, who know better, beg to acquaint them with the fact, that he is merely a censorious young gentleman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
