Praised by acclaimed biographer Claire Tomalin as "young Dickens at his most playful," this delightful volume showcases two collections of little-known sketches by Dickens, charmingly illustrated by Phiz. Whimsical, satirical, witty and exuberant, the sketches ridicule the behavior of their subjects with perfect comic effect, offering fascinating evidence of a writer learning his craft and refining his style. In his Introduction, Dickens scholar Paul Schlicke discusses the popularity of the sketch mode, and the special qualities of these examples. This unique edition includes Edward Caswall's Sketches of Young Ladies, whose success prompted Dickens to write his own sketches.… (mais)

Dated, yet amusing and biting. Somewhat repetitive after a while. ( )

Two collections of rarely published early sketches by Dickens, one about Young Gentleman (including items like "The Bashful Young Gentleman", "The Military Young Gentleman" and "The Theatrical Young Gentleman") and one about (mostly) young couples (including items like "The Young Couple", "The Loving Couple" and "The Old Couple"). The sketches are short with occasional illustrations and combine humor, insight, generalizations, made up particulars, compassion and some judgmentalness.

Some of the judgments seem quite dated (e.g., Dickens says that his portraits of couples are limited to those where the men are in charge, because any other arrangement is unnatural) while others seem strikingly modern (e.g., the depiction of the young and old couples).

These sketches probably deserve to be a little more widely published than they are, but not much more widely published. ( )
