THE DIARY OF A NOBODY
began as a serial in Punch and the book which followed in 1892 has never been out of print. 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.
The Diary of a Nobody
, an
English
comic novel
written by
George Grossmith
and his brother
Weedon Grossmith
with illustrations by Weedon, first appeared in the magazine
Punch
in 1888 – 89, and was first printed in book form in 1892. It is considered a classic work of humour and has never been out of print.
The
diary
is the fictitious record of fifteen months in the life of
Mr. Charles Pooter
, a middle aged
city
clerk of lower
middle-class
status but significant social aspirations, living in the fictional 'Brickfield Terrace' in
Upper Holloway
which was then a typical suburb of the impecuniously respectable kind. Other characters include his wife Carrie (Caroline), his son Lupin, his friends Mr Cummings and Mr Gowing, and Lupin's unsuitable
fiancée
, Daisy Mutlar.
The
humour
derives from Pooter's unconscious gaffes and self-importance, as well as the snubs he receives from those he considers socially inferior, such as tradesmen. In
The Diary of a Nobody
the Grossmiths create an accurate if amusing record of the manners, customs and experiences of
Londoners
of the late
Victorian era
.
The book has spawned the word "Pooterish" to describe a tendency to take oneself excessively seriously.
