Bag om Sketches of Young Gentlemen
Sketches of Young Gentlemen is a collection of short stories written by the renowned English author Charles Dickens. First published in 1838, the book features a series of satirical sketches that poke fun at the manners and habits of young men in Victorian England. The stories are written in a humorous and lighthearted tone, and each sketch presents a different type of young gentleman, from the fashionable dandy to the studious scholar. Through these characters, Dickens provides a witty commentary on the social norms and values of the time, highlighting the absurdities and hypocrisy of the upper-class society.The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of young gentlemen's lives, such as their education, leisure activities, and romantic pursuits. The characters are vividly portrayed, and their quirks and idiosyncrasies are exaggerated for comic effect.Overall, Sketches of Young Gentlemen is a delightful and entertaining read that offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian England. It is a testament to Dickens' skill as a writer and his ability to capture the essence of his era with wit and humor.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.
