Sketches Of Young Gentlemen

By Charles Dickens

Book Overview

Sketches of Young Gentlemen is a collection of humorous and satirical sketches written by Charles Dickens. The book is a satirical commentary on the society of the time, particularly the upper-class young men who were often seen as frivolous and lacking in substance. The sketches are written in a light-hearted and witty style, with Dickens poking fun at the various quirks and foibles of the young men he encounters. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of young gentlemen's lives, such as their education, their social lives, and their romantic pursuits. Throughout the book, Dickens uses his keen observational skills and sharp wit to provide a humorous and insightful commentary on the society of his time. Overall, Sketches of Young Gentlemen is a delightful and entertaining read, filled with Dickens' trademark humor and wit.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.
