Synopsis

Witty satire in verse that skewers fashion, wealth, and the snobbery of high society.

This sharp and playful work uses humor, verse, and parodic scenes to lampoon the idea of “mobocratic snobbery” and the pretensions of fashionable crowds. Set against bustling 19th‑century New York, it follows a outspoken narrator and a witty Charity as they challenge public pretensions and illuminate real generosity.

Nothing to Say invites readers to enjoy a brisk, satirical ride through social mores, with punchy rhymes, lively characters, and scenes that mix street humor with pointed social commentary.

• Bright, accessible poetry that glances at class, charity, and the power of public opinion


• Playful, character-driven humor that stays entertaining without heavy ornament


• Vivid, period‑specific setting and language that give a sense of era and place


• A satirical voice that pokes fun at both the wealthy and the crowd that follows them

Ideal for readers who enjoy classic American humor, witty verse, and social satire.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
