	Sketches by Boz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sketches by Boz is a collection of short pieces published by Charles Dickens in 1836.
		Dickens' career as a writer of fiction truly began with this collection in 1833, when he started writing humorous sketches for the Monthly Chronicle, using the pen-name "Boz".

	Sketches by Boz - Charles Dickens - Penguin Classics
		Sketches by Boz collected a rich and strange mixture of reportage, observation, fancy and fiction centred on the metropolis.
		It was Dickens's first book, published when he was twenty-four, and in it we find him walking the London streets, in theatres, pawnshops, law-courts, prisons, along the Thames, and on the omnibus, missing nothing, recording and transforming urban and suburban life into new terrain for literature.
		Sketches is a remarkable achievement, and looks towards Dickens's giant novels in its profusion of characters, its glimpses of surreal modernity and its limitless fund of pathos and comic invention.

	SKETCHES BY BOZ - Sumner & Stillman (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Dickens wrote a total of fifty-nine different sketches by "Boz," and all but seven of them appeared in six different periodicals during the years 1833-1836; the other seven first appeared in book form.
		SKETCHES BY BOZ is one of only two Dickens works (with OLIVER TWIST) that came out in book form prior to monthly serial parts.
		SKETCHES BY BOZ is the scarcest Dickens title in parts, and this is a highly-collectible set: the last set on the market of which we are aware (which likewise lacked only the Part III Mechi ad and which had four substituted wrappers including a front one), was priced about five years ago at $35,000.

		"Sketches by Boz" is an offering of Dickens's first attempts at writing for a living.
		The editor introduced "Sketches" with a few notes of academic and historical interest, a particular one of which I found to be of great interest as it finally answered a question I'd had for half my life: namely, where Dickens had acquired his nickname of Boz.
		"Sketches by Boz", being a collection of Dickens's first literary efforts, was of course the first in this series.

		One half consists of sketches that are truly and in the strict sense sketches.
		That is, they are things that have no story and in their outline none of the character of creation; they are merely facts from the street or the tavern or the town hall, noted down as they occurred by an intelligence of quite exceptional vivacity.
		It was about this time that he put together a loose pile of papers, satires on institutions, pictures of private persons, fairy tales of the vulgarity of his world, odds and ends such as come out of the facility and the fierce vanity of youth.

	Review of Sketches By Boz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Part of the problem lies in the original material: the very fact that this is early Dickens (he was 22 or 23 when most of these sketches were written) means that he had yet to develop both the skills and the confidence which pervade his major works.
		The first sketch, A Passage In The Life Of Mr Watkins Tottle, is preceded by information regarding its original publication and fee (none); this we may expect to become a convention, but it immediately vanishes, cropping up again only to sustain a brief authorial preface to a later sketch.
		The sketches are wildly disparate both in size (the Tottle sketch lasts over 30 minutes, a couple of others barely three) and in mood, and are presented on a fairly bald take-it-or-leave-it basis.

		The first of what would become the Sketches by Boz, "A Dinner at Poplar Walk," was published in the Monthly Magazine in December 1833.
		Dickens continued to place pieces in the Monthly Magazine, but in fact they bore no signature at all until August 1834, when "The Boarding House" appeared, the first of the "Sketches" to be signed "Boz." A verse in the March 1837 issue of Bentley's Miscellany recalled the public's perplexity at the time:
		On this engraved title page of the second series of the Sketches by Boz (1836), Cruikshank picks up on the metaphor elaborated by Dickens in his preface to the first series: two figures closely
