Diary of a Nobody

See all formats and editions

This delightful Victorian comic diary is a classic of English Humour which has never been out of print since its first publication in 1892.

The Grossmith brothers not only created an immortal comic character but produced a clever satire of their society.

Mr Pooter is an office clerk and upright family man in a dull 1880s suburb.

His diary is a wonderful portrait of the class system and the inherent snobbishness of the suburban middle classes.

It sends up contemporary crazes for Aestheticism, spiritualism and bicycling, as well as the fashion for publishing diaries by anybody and everybody.
