"The Book of Snobs" is a satirical collection by William Makepeace Thackeray, published in 1848, which critiqued snobbery in Victorian society. Initially released in weekly pieces in Punch magazine, the book was revised before its publication to exclude political content. Thackeray used various pen names to remain anonymous, revealing his authorship only later. The book received mixed to negative reviews, with some defending its humanitarian message. It has been translated into French multiple times and popularized the term 'snob'. The term's origins are discussed in Philippe Jullian's Dictionnaire du snobisme, emphasizing its moral connotation. The book also provides external links to access the book.
