About this product

Product Information

Sketches by Boz, Illustrative of Every-day Life and Every-day People (commonly kwn as Sketches by Boz) is a collection of short pieces Charles Dickens published as a book in 1836, with illustrations by George Cruikshank. The 56 sketches concern London scenes and people, and the whole work is divided into four sections: Our Parish,Scenes,Characters and Tales. The material in the first three sections consists of n-narrative pen-portraits, but the last section comprises fictional stories. The sketches were originally published in various newspapers and other periodicals between 1833 and 1836, then issued in instalments under their current title from 1837 to 1839. The sketch Mr Minns and his Cousin (originally titled A Dinner at Poplar Walk ), was the first work of fiction Dickens ever published. It appeared in The Monthly Magazine in December 1833. Although Dickens continued to place pieces in that magazine, ne of them bore a signature until August 1834, when The Boarding House appeared under the strange pen-name Boz. A verse in Bentley's Miscellany for March 1837 recalled the public's perplexity about this pseudonym: Who the dickens 'Boz' could be Puzzled many a learned elf, Till time unveiled the mystery, And 'Boz' appeared as Dickens's self. Dickens took the pseudonym from a nickname he had given his younger brother Augustus, whom he called Moses after a character in Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield. This, being facetiously prounced through the se, became Boses, which in turn was shortened to Boz. The name remained coupled with inimitable until Boz eventually disappeared and Dickens became kwn as, simply, The Inimitable.
