The Diary of a Nobody
George & Weedon Grossmith
The modest London clerk Charles Pooter records his domestic routines, social misadventures and family frustrations in a diary full of unintended comedy. George and Weedon Grossmith’s novel affectionately satirizes late-Victorian suburban aspirations and the desire to be taken seriously.
