The Book of Snobs is a collection of satirical works by William Makepeace Thackeray first published in the magazine Punch as The Snobs of England, By One of Themselves. Published in 1848, the book was serialised in 1846/47 around the same time as Vanity Fair. While the word 'snob' had been in use since the end of the 18th century Thackeray's adoption of the term to refer to people who look down on others who are "socially inferior" quickly gained popularity. 잡지 <펀치Punch>에 연재된 〈영국의 속물들 The Snobs of England, by One of Themselves>(1846~1847)을 1848년 단행본으로 엮은 풍자소설로, 런던 사람들의 속물 근성(俗物根性)을 날카롭게 묘사하였다. 영국의 작가 윌리엄 새커리 (William Makepeace Thackeray)가 1848년 집필한 『영국속물열전(The Book of Snobs)』에서 단순히 신분이 낮은 사람을 뜻하던 '속물'(snob)이라는 단어가 19세기부터 '신사인 체하고 허세를 부리는 사람들'이란 뜻으로 변용되었다고 표현했다. 그 이후로 스노브는 신사인 체하는 속물, 가짜 인텔리 등의 의미가 포함되고, 스노버리라고 하면 신사인체함, 스노비시는 신사인 체하는 뜻의 형용사이며, 스노비즘은 고상한 체하는 속물근성, 또는 출신이나 학식을 공개적으로 자랑하는 취미나 타입을 가리키는 말이 됐다.
