a??The Placid Man, Or, Memoirs of Sir Charles Bevillea?? is a satirical novel by Charles Jenner, originally published in 1828. Presented as the memoirs of a seemingly unremarkable man, the novel offers a sharp and witty commentary on 19th-century British society. Through the eyes of Sir Charles, Jenner critiques the foibles and pretensions of the upper classes, exposing the absurdities of social conventions and the emptiness of superficial pursuits.

Jenner's work provides valuable insight into the social and cultural landscape of its time. The novel remains relevant for its clever humor and astute observations on human nature, making it a compelling read for those interested in classic literature and historical fiction.
