The protagonist of this work criticizes fops and their Fashionable Novels in "The Dandiacal Body," and he eschews a belief system in which man is but an "omnivorous Biped that wears Breeches."  The protagonist asks, "What is this paltry little Dog-cage of an Earth?" in a chapter called "The Everlasting No," while in "The Everlasting Yea," the author commands the reader to "close thy Byron; open thy Goethe." The story of the protagonist is delivered in six paper bags to the narrator by Hofrath Heuschrecke, chronicling his life after being delivered in a basket to Andreas and Gretchen Futterall.  Jonathan Swift's comparison of man to a Micro-Coat inspired the title and recurring clothing motif of this novel, which centers on the adventures of a professor at the University of Weissnichtwo. For ten points name this work about Diogenes Teufelsdr?ckh by Thomas Carlyle.
