Description

United Kingdom: United Kingdom: Prion Books, 1999, 1999. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. First Thus.. Near Fine/NF Minor soiling Dj. First Thus. The greatness of George and Weedon Grossmith's masterpiece of comic irony, THE DIARY OF A NOBODY, rests to a large extent on perceptions of class. It purports to be the diary of Charles Pooter, a lower-middle-class individual of the mid-nineteenth century who lives at "The Laurels," Brickfield Terrace, Holloway. This address alone, simultaneously poignant and stifling, reverberates with blandly devastating irony--a note sustained at perfect pitch throughout the book..
