Summary "Letters of Peregrine Pickle" by George P. Upton is a collection of humorous essays and social commentary written in the late 19th century. The book is a compilation of letters initially published in the Chicago Tribune, featuring a variety of characters and observations about life, society, and the quirks of human behavior. The letters cover topics from social gatherings to personal anecdotes, drawing a vivid picture of the author's perspectives on contemporary issues. The opening portion of the book introduces the reader to the context of the collection, explaining that the letters were penned under the pseudonym "Peregrine Pickle" and had an ephemeral quality, catering to the social landscapes of the day. Upton creates a lively backdrop of characters, such as Old Blobbs and Mrs. Blobbs, who represent different facets of society, while the essays touch on themes ranging from seasonal festivities to the peculiarities of church etiquette. Through humor and sharp wit, Upton brings to life the vibrant social scene of his time, setting the stage for further exploration of various social topics in the ensuing letters.
