Summary "Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama, Vol. 3" by E. Cobham Brewer is a reference work written in the late 19th century. This volume presents a collection of character sketches drawn from classic literature, including notable works of romance, fiction, and drama. The sketches provide insights into complex characters such as Mark Tapley from Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit" and others, reflecting the narrative styles and themes present in their respective stories. The opening of this volume introduces various characters, offering brief descriptions and context about each. For instance, it highlights Mark Tapley’s optimistic disposition despite his misfortunes in America, along with a variety of figures from different literary traditions. Additionally, it encapsulates not just the character names, but also situates them within their stories, aiming to provide readers with an understanding of their significance in literary canon. The format sets the stage for a detailed examination of how each character contributes to their respective narratives and themes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
