In creating Charles Pooter, brothers George and Weedon Grossmith not only introduced the world to an immortal comic character, but also to a brilliant satire on Victorian society.
Pooter is an upright – and uptight – city clerk with a remarkably high-handed manner and worryingly little self-awareness, and his ‘reminiscences’ chart a hilariously fraught existence marked by successive embarrassments, anxieties and petty grievances.
The original reality star, Pooter finds his life further complicated by the return to the family home of his feckless son Lupin: a smoking, drinking, ladies’ man, with a penchant for speculating on the markets – and, more worryingly, amateur dramatics...
This edition of The Diary of a Nobody features Weedon Grossmith’s original illustrations; and a Foreword and annotations on the text by novelist E O Higgins.
