He perhaps better known from his reputation as a brilliant wit in conversation than from his writings. As a dramatist he was very popular. He dealt with rather humbler forms of social world than had commonly been represented in the theater. He was one of the first and certainly one of the most successful of the men who in defense of the native English drama endeavored to stem the tide of translation from the French, which threatened early in the 19th century to drown original native talent. His skill in construction and his mastery of epigram and brilliant dialogue are well exemplified in his comedy, 'Time Works Wonders'. The tales and sketches which form the bulk of Jerrold's collected works vary much in skill and interest; but, although there are evident traces of their having been composed from week to week, they are always marked by keen satirical observation and pungent wit. Scarce and interesting. NW51
