Mudfog and Other Sketches by Charles Dickens
"Mudfog and Other Sketches" by Charles Dickens is a collection of stories published from 1837 to 1838 in Bentley's Miscellany. The anthology centers on the fictional Mudfog Society for the Advancement of Everything, a satirical parody of Victorian learned societies. Set in the provincial town of Mudfog—based on Dickens's childhood home of Chatham—these pieces blend humor and social commentary through accounts of pompous meetings, theatrical reflections, and character sketches that lampoon the
pretensions of scientific and literary circles. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
