Sketches of Young Ladies, Young Gentlemen and Young Couples
New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
The success of Edward Caswall’s 1837 Sketches of Young Ladies prompted the young Dickens to write two companion pieces, which also paint satirical portraits of early Victorian character-types. All three sets are collected here, with the original illustrations by ‘Phiz’.
Product information
Full publisher description
When the publishers of the Pickwick Papers, Chapman & Hall, brought out the anonymous 'Sketches of Young Ladies' in 1837, their resounding success prompted the twenty-six-year old Dickens to write, the following year, a companion piece, the 'Sketches of Young Gentlemen', followed two years later - to coincide with the engagement of Princess Victoria and Prince Albert - by the 'Sketches of Young Couples'.
First published in a single volume in 1843, and including the iconic original engravings by Phiz, these satirical portraits not only reveal the dazzling brilliance of young Dickens's genius, but also offer a humorous glimpse into Victorian mores and attitudes.
