Summary "Little Travels and Roadside Sketches" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a travel literature piece composed during the early to mid-19th century, specifically within the Victorian era. This work presents the author's observations and reflections as he journeys from Richmond in Surrey to Brussels, touching upon various locations, particularly Ghent and Bruges, along the way. The book encapsulates Thackeray’s thoughts on the people he encounters, the landscapes he traverses, and the cultural nuances of the places he visits, all delivered with his characteristic wit and social commentary. In this engaging collection of essays, Thackeray artfully combines personal narrative with a vivid portrayal of the European landscape and its people. He takes us along his journey aboard a steamer and through charming towns and cities, sharing encounters with various characters, from the aristocracy to common folk. Thackeray’s keen eye captures the quirks of society, whether through humorous anecdotes of the upper class or thoughtful reflections on the simplicity and charm of everyday life. He critiques the superficial aspects of social status while celebrating the human experience, ultimately providing readers with both an informative travelogue and a rich tapestry of European cultural life in the 19th century.
