Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Sketches by âBoz,â Illustrative of Every-day Life and Every-day People (commonly known 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: âOur Parishâ, âScenesâ, âCharactersâ and âTalesâ. The material in the first three sections consists of non-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 âMr Minns and his Cousinâ (originally titled âA Dinner at Poplar Walkâ), 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, none of them bore a signature until August 1834, when âThe Boarding Houseâ appeared under the strange pen-name âBozâ. A verse in Bentleyâs Miscellany for March 1837 recalled the publicâs perplexity about this pseudonym: âWho the dickens âBozâ could be Puzzled many a learned elf, Till time unveiled the mystery, And âBozâ appeared as Dickensâs self.â Dickens took the pseudonym from a nickname he had given his younger brother Augustus, whom he called âMosesâ after a character in Oliver Goldsmithâs The Vicar of Wakefield. This, âbeing facetiously pronounced through the nose,â became âBosesâ, which in turn was shortened to âBozâ. The name remained coupled with âinimitableâ until âBozâ eventually disappeared and Dickens became known as, simply, âThe Inimitableâ.
