Tuckerman is a collection of essays written in the mid-19th century. The work explores a variety of topics related to culture, society, and personal reflections on literature, art, and various social institutions. Tuckerman presents a thoughtful and often humorous examination of subjects ranging from authors and newspapers to inns and holidays. At the start of the collection, Tuckerman's introduction illustrates the historical significance of language and literature as tools for communication and reflection across boundaries. He then transitions into a vivid account of the changing landscape of inns in London, comparing the romanticized past with the more mundane present. Through engaging anecdotes, he discusses how these establishments once served as hubs of social interaction and artistic inspiration, illustrating their decline as modern travel evolved. The opening portion sets the tone for a reflective exploration of how society's customs have transformed over time, establishing a connection between history, literature, and personal experiences.
