Jane Austen is the queen of mocking snobs.
Pride and Predjudice- Mr. Darby was the ultimate snob
Sense and Sensibility - I can't remember her name, but the heroine's sister in law was a snob and didn't want her brother to marry someone "beneath his station"
Jane Eyre - EVERYONE except Jane was a snob in that book!

Try the book 'Snobbery with Violence' by Colin Watson. Well thought out comments on the English 'manor house' detective stories by Agatha Christie et al.

Read anything by Oscar Wilde. His characters are full of snobberry and social commentary. People who fox hunt " The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable"

Charles Dickens - Great Expectations.
Google it, you should find quite a lot of reference to snobbery due to class, or social standing. =)
