Omschrijving

A sparkling tumble of wit and wit's critique, Edward Fitzgerald And Posh invites you to step into late nineteenth century Britain as seen through a sharp, compassionate eye. This satirical prose anthology, though mellow on page, roars in intention: a humorous essay collection that unpicks urban society with a fashionably cutting edge. Its class satire themes, roles, and rituals unfold with a keen sense of place-Victorian England-where attire, manners, and social polish become weapons and mirrors. The book dances in a style cousins to Oscar Wilde and Henry James, offering a delicate nod to their moral probing while carving fresh paths of its own. Historically significant as a public domain treasure newly revived, this work stands as a vivid snapshot of a culture negotiating modernity. Its voice-terse, luminous, sly-converts social observation into lasting commentary, inviting both casual readers and students of Victorian literature to linger on its precise sentences and generous humour. For lovers of British satire, for those who relish a sharp caricature of fashion and elitism, and for readers who prize cultural artefacts, the volume is a rare pleasure, a cultural treasure and a collector's item in one. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a companion piece to the era, a doorway to late nineteenth century Britain that rewards repeated reading.
