"Book of Snobs" by William Makepeace Thackeray delves into the concept of snobbery, illustrating its prevalence across all social classes and presenting it as a worthy subject of study akin to natural science. Thackeray eloquently asserts that the world has been preparing for an exploration of snobs and their impact, as he introduces readers to the fascinating notion that snobbery is intertwined with the Beautiful, albeit with a capital B. This work remains relevant today as it invites listeners to reflect on the enduring nature of social hierarchies and the human tendency to judge others based on superficial traits.
