Highly regarded today as one of the greatest novels in English literature, Little Dorrit presents both a scathing indictment of mid-Victorian England and a devastating insight into the human condition. Examining the many social and mental prisons which incarcerate men and women, the novel also considers the nature of true spiritual freedom. Against a background of administrative and financial scandal, Dickens tells the moving story of the old Marshalsea prisoner who inherits a fortune and his devoted daughter`s love for a man who believes he has done with love. He draws widely on the events of his own life and times, yet focuses a powerful imaginative vision which is as universal as it is specific, immediate, and intense. In Little...

In `Little Dorrit` Dickens gives us a great satire on poverty and riches. At its centre are William Dorrit, who has been imprisoned for years in Marshalsea debtors` gaol, and his loyal daughter Amy, `Little Dorrit`, who cherishes an unrequited love for the novel`s hero, Arthur Clennam. As their stories weave together - drawing in the vast worlds of the Marshalsea, the poor of Bleeding Heart Yard, the government mandarins at the Circumlocution Office - so the novel unravels a compelling mystery of fraud, blackmail, a rich inheritance and a suppressed codicil. Dickens`s joyous eye for detail and his vigorous, encyclopedic curiosity combine with a mastery of plot and depth of vision to make `Little Dorrit` (1857) one of the finest novels...
