''The Finest Girl In Bloomsbury'' is a serio-comic novel written by Augustus Septimus Mayhew and published in 1861. The story follows the life of a young woman named Miss Mellor, who is described as the ''finest girl'' in the Bloomsbury neighborhood of London. Despite her beauty and charm, Miss Mellor is determined to marry into a wealthy family and improve her social status. The novel is a satirical take on Victorian society and its obsession with class and status. Throughout the book, Miss Mellor navigates various romantic entanglements, including a love triangle with two suitors from different social classes. As she pursues her ambitions, Miss Mellor must confront the harsh realities of class prejudice and the limitations imposed on women in Victorian society. Mayhew’s writing style is witty and humorous, with a sharp eye for social commentary. He uses satire to expose the absurdities of Victorian society, particularly its rigid class distinctions and the hypocrisy of its upper classes. ''The Finest Girl In Bloomsbury'' is a compelling and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on Victorian life and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...
