| The Diary of a Nobody, the spoof diary of Charles Pooter, a London clerk, first appeared as a book in 1892 and has never been out of print since. The hilariously trivial doings of the accident-prone Pooter, his wife Carrie and their troublesome son Lupin have inspired many writers since, including the authors of Bridget Jonesâ s Diary and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. The satirical novelist Evelyn Waugh called it â the funniest book in the world.â This enduring classic of Victorian social comedy is now available in a newly edited Broadview edition. This edition includes a critical introduction, comprehensive notes on the many historical allusions in the text, and a wide selection of relevant contemporary materials on the clerkâ s life, suburbia, spiritualism, and domestic economy. A selection of Weedon Grossmithâ s original illustrations also accompanies the novel. |
