This antiquarian volume contains William Thackeray¿s 1848 collection of satirical works entitled "The Book of Snobs". It was first published in the magazine 'Punch' as "The Snobs of England by One of Themselves", and was later serialised as a book in 1846. The word ¿snob¿ existed before Thackeray¿s book, but his definition of it meaning 'people who look down on others for reasons of social stature or wealth' was popularised by Thackeray, and quickly became commonplace. William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863) was an esteemed English novelist during the nineteenth century. He became famous for his satirical novels, the most important and influential of which was "Vanity Fair". Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
