CHARLES DICKENS ~ DRAWN FROM LIFE Sketches of Young Ladies, Young Gentlemen 1875

Description: Drawn from Life. Sketches of Young Ladies, Young Gentlemen, and Young Couples Charles Dickens ; Illustrated By Phiz Published by E.J. Hale & Son, New York, 1875. First American Edition (stated). Gilt stamped cloth hardcover ; as-is ex "franklin typographical society" library with related stamps and antique bookplate inside cover; inner edge gutter tears front and rear endpapers; else intact; wonderful illustrations throughout; see photos; 320 pages. "Following the phenomenal popularity of Sketches by Boz and The Pickwick Papers, Dickens produced two short volumes of Sketches of Young Gentlemen and Young Couples, in response to the appearance of Sketches of Young Ladies by 'Quiz'. Each volume purports to dissect the characteristics of familiar types such as 'The Bashful Young Gentleman', 'The Literary Young Lady', and 'The Couple who Coddle themselves'. Whimsical, satirical, wittyand exuberant, the sketches ridicule the behaviour of their subjects with perfect comic effect, rendering Mr Whiffler, Mrs Chopper and their companions instantly recognizable. They offer intriguing glimpses of courtship rituals and relations between the sexes at the outset of the Victorian era, and fascinating evidence of a writer learning hiscraft and refining his style.This edition includes the original illustrations by Phiz, and an introduction that examines the appeal of the sketch, a literary genre in which Dickens excelled throughout his career."
