Dickens parodies the proceedings of the British Association for the Advancement of Science with these records of “The Mudfog Society for the Advancement of Everything” and its delightful professors Snore, Doze, and Wheezy. Originally published monthly in Bentley’s Miscellany from 1837–38, The Mudfog Papers makes use of Parliamentary reports, memoirs, and posthumous papers, as did Dicken’s earlier comic success, The Pickwick Papers.
