Product Description

 
Sketches by Boz collected a rich and strange mixture of reportage, observation, fancy and fiction centred on the metropolis. It was Dickens's first book, published when he was twenty-four, and in it we find him walking the London streets, in theatres, pawnshops, lawcourts, prisons, along the Thames and on the omnibus, missing nothing, recording and transforming urban and suburban life into new terrain for literature. 'The first sprightly runnings of his genius are undoubtedly here, ' wrote Dickens's friend and biographer John Forster. Sketches is a remarkable achievement, and looks towards Dickens's giant novels in its profusion of characters, its glimpses of surreal modernity and its limitless fund of pathos and comic invention.

Professional Reviews
  Times Literary Supplement: "'Sketches By Boz' is an underrated book--underrated because it is by Dickens....If Dickens had written nothing else, it would almost certainly have the reputation, with all its flaws, of being an attractive minor masterpiece--the kind of book which gets forgotten from time to time, but which it is always a pleasure to rediscover."
