Sketches of Young Ladies, Young Gentlemen and Young Couples

When the publishers of the Pickwick Papers, Chapman & Hall, brought out the anonymous Sketches of Young Ladies in 1837, their resounding success prompted the twenty-six-year old Dickens to write, the following year, a companion piece, the Sketches of Young Gentlemen, followed two years later – to coincide with the engagement of Princess Victoria and Prince Albert – by the Sketches of Young Couples.

Memories of London

Originally conceived as a series of newspaper articles and later published in volume form, De Amicis’s Memories of London brings back to life all the bygone charm of the capital of the British Empire. De Amicis’s impressions are paired here with a piece written by one of his contemporaries, the French writer Louis Laurent Simonin, which leaves the city’s opulence and grandeur behind and offers an uncompromising look at the poverty and squalor of its most deprived areas.
