The Diary of a Nobody

Book • 2021
The Diary of a Nobody is a satirical novel that chronicles the daily life of Charles Pooter, a middle-class clerk in London, and his family.

The book humorously explores the aspirations and pretensions of the Victorian middle class through Pooter's earnest yet oblivious attempts at maintaining social propriety.

First published in serial form in Punch magazine from 1888 to 1889, it was later printed in book form in 1892.
