The Pathetic Snobs is a novel written by Dolf Wyllarde and originally published in 1918. The book explores the lives of a group of wealthy, aristocratic individuals living in England during the early 20th century. The story follows the characters as they navigate their privileged existence, dealing with issues such as social status, marriage, and infidelity.At the heart of the novel is the character of Lady Isabel, a beautiful and charming woman who is married to a wealthy but dull husband. Lady Isabel becomes the center of attention for a group of male admirers, including a young artist named Julian, who is infatuated with her. As the story unfolds, we see the characters' relationships become increasingly complicated and fraught with tension.The Pathetic Snobs is a satirical novel that pokes fun at the upper-class society of the time. It is a commentary on the shallow and superficial nature of the aristocracy, and the way in which they are obsessed with their own status and privilege. The book is also a critique of the gender roles and expectations of the time, particularly the way in which women were expected to be submissive and obedient to their husbands.Overall, The Pathetic Snobs is a witty and entertaining novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural norms of early 20th century England. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the British aristocracy and the changing attitudes towards gender and class during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
