Fiction
"Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdröckh" by Thomas Carlyle purports to be a commentary on the thought and early life of a German philosopher called Diogenes Teufelsdröckh, but it is, in actuality, an entirely fictitious comedy. The novel takes the form of a long review by a somewhat cantankerous unnamed Editor for the English publication Fraser's Magazine who is, upon request, reviewing the fictional German book Clothes, Their Origin and Influence by the fictional philosopher Diogenes Teufelsdröckh. The Editor is clearly flummoxed by the book, first struggling to explain the book in the context of contemporary social issues in England, some of which he knows Germany to be sharing as well, then conceding that he knows Teufelsdröckh personally.
