Sketches by "Boz," Everyday Life Illustrations and Everyday People (commonly known as Sketches by Boz ) is a collection of short pieces of Charles Dickens originally published in various newspapers and other magazines between 1833 and 1836. The book was re-published in book form, with the current title, in February and August 1836, illustrated by George Cruikshank. The first complete one volume edition appeared in 1839. Sketches 56 concern the London scene and the people, and the whole work is divided into four parts: "Our Parish", "Scenes", "Characters" and "Acts". The material in the first three parts consists of non-narrative portraits, but the last part consists of fictitious stories.

Sejarah "Boz"

The sketch of "Mr Minns and his Cousin" (originally titled "A Dinner at Poplar Walk"), is the first work of Dickens's fictional work ever published. It appeared in The Monthly Magazine in December 1833. Although Dickens continued to place snippets in the magazine, no one signed the signature until August 1834, when "The Boarding House" appeared with a strange pen name. "Boz". A verse in Bentley's Miscellany for March 1837 reminded the public confusion of this pseudonym:

"Who the Boen 'the jerk' could be

Confused many fairies learn,

Until time opens the mystery,

And 'Boz' emerged as Dickens himself. "

Dickens took the pseudonym of the nickname he gave to his younger brother Augustus, whom he called "Moses" after the character in Oliver Goldsmith's . This, "being pronounced clearly through the nose," becomes the "Boss", which in turn is shortened to "Boz". The name was fixed with "inimitable" until "Boz" finally disappeared and Dickens became known as, simply, "The Inimitable". Name originally pronounced but now usually .

Illustration

The popularity of Dickens's writings is enhanced by the regular import of detailed illustrations to highlight the major scenes and characters. Each sketch usually features two black-and-white illustrations, as well as illustrations for the wrapping. The drawings are made with wood carving or metal etching. Dickens worked with several illustrators during his career, including George Cruikshank, Hablot Knight Browne (aka "Phiz"), and John Leech. The accuracy of the illustrations is very important for Dickens, because his drawings depict the characters as he imagines, and give the reader valuable insights about the personality and character of the character, as well as the plot.

Publications

The earliest version of Sketches by Boz was published by John Macrone in two series: the first as a two-volume collection in February 1836, just a month before the publication of the first number The Pickwick Papers 1836-37), and then "The Second Series" in August 1836. After Dickens's fame skyrocketed he bought the rights to material from Macrone.
