The Making of a Prig is a satirical novel that skewers the stuffy conventions and narrow-mindedness of Victorian society. Its protagonist, the young and idealistic hero Aubrey St. Clair, is determined to live a life of virtue and high moral purpose, but finds himself constantly thwarted by the hypocrisy and cynicism of those around him. This book is a hilarious and biting critique of the mores of its time.
