Abstract
This article deals with the authorial mask in “The book of snobs, written by one of them” by W.M. Thackeray. It is noted that the authorial mask is presented by two characters, who have the same name – Mr. Snob, but absolutely different understanding of snobbery. The reasons why W. Thackeray has chosen such a mask are analyzed. Among them his principle to show the problem fully and from different points of view, to invite a discussion without voicing his own opinion, to underline that snobbery is common to all people without exception. Different chapters of the book are analyzed. Examples and citations are provided.
