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
Jones's Diary and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. The satirical
novelist Evelyn Waugh called it "the funniest book in the world."
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 clerk's life, suburbia, spiritualism,
and domestic economy. A selection of Weedon Grossmith's original
illustrations also accompanies the novel.
