About This Ebook

“Sunday Under Three Heads” is an early satirical pamphlet by Charles Dickens, first published in 1836. The book describes Sunday life through three distinct viewpoints: the first from the perspective of strict religious factions advocating for Sundays to be entirely devoted to religious activities; the second from the secular entertainment angle promoting leisure time on Sundays; and the third offering a compromise between the two. Dickens uses his sharp pen to expose the controversies surrounding Sunday activities in British society at the time, calling attention to the needs and rights of ordinary working people. This book not only reflects Dickens’ concern for social issues but also showcases his unique literary style.
