Percy Fitzgerald (1834-1925) was a notable Irish author, critic, and historian, who made substantial contributions to Victorian literature. With a keen eye for social detail and an engaging narrative style, Fitzgerald's works often reflected his interest in Charles Dickens, whose biography he penned, as well as other Victorian celebrities and theatrical history, revealing his varied literary interests. Among his body of work is the discerning study 'Pickwickian Manners and Customs' (1897), an exploration of the social nuances and characters found within Dickens's first novel, 'The Pickwick Papers'. This piece reflects Fitzgerald's broader literary style, characterized by meticulous research and a fondness for the quaint aspects of 19th-century life. His writings, rich with insight into the Victorian era's culture and literature, continue to be significant resources for historical and literary scholars. Fitzgerald was a prolific writer, with his other notable works including 'The Life of David Garrick' (1868) and 'The History of the Pickwick Papers' (1891), which further established his reputation as a scholar of his time. His contributions as a biographer, coupled with his talents as a novelist and playwright, make Percy Fitzgerald a fascinating figure in the canon of Victorian literature.
