Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This biography provides a detailed and fascinating account of the life and work of Shirley Brooks, a significant figure in Victorian literature. Brooks is best known as the editor of Punch magazine from 1870 to 1874, during which time he played a pivotal role in shaping the magazine's satirical and humorous content. The book draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Brooks's diaries and letters, to offer an intimate portrait of the man and his work. The author explores Brooks's early life, his legal studies, and his literary career, which spanned journalism, poetry, and novel-writing. Particular attention is given to Brooks's close association with Punch, where he honed his skills as a political satirist and social commentator. Beyond his literary contributions, the book highlights Brooks's involvement in various social and cultural circles. He was a prominent member of the Freemasons and a close friend of many notable figures of the time, including Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray. Through Brooks's life and work, the book offers a rich and nuanced perspective on Victorian society and the literary and journalistic landscape of the era.
