The Mudfog papers

"The Mudfog Papers, a collection of sketches by Dickens published in Bentley's Miscellany between 1837 and 1838, describes the local politics of the fictional town of Mudfog - such as the delusions of grandeur of its mayor Nicholas Tulrumble and his disastrous attempts at putting on a public show - and the meetings of its Society for the Advancement of Everything, during which the town is overrun by illustrious scientists and professors conducting ostensibly pointless research." -- publisher.

  • "Dickens parodies the proceedings of the British Association for the Advancement of Science with these records of The Mudfog Society for the Advancement of Everything and its delightful professors Snore, Doze, and Wheezy. Originally published monthly in Bentley's Miscellany from 1837–38, The Mudfog Papers makes use of Parliamentary reports, memoirs, and posthumous papers, as did Dicken's earlier comic success, The Pickwick Papers."
