Description

Considered by many readers, including Shaw, Chesterton, Conrad and Trilling, as one of Dickens''s finest achievements, Bleak House tells the complex story of a notorious lawsuit in which love and inheritance are set against the classic urban background of nineteenth-century London, where fog on the river, seeping into the very bones of the characters, symbolizes the pervasive corruption of the legal system and the society which supports it. Displaying the writer''s familiar panoramic sweep and enormous cast of brilliant characters, the novel is also a bold experimental narrative in which public and private worlds are brought into sharp focus. It was first published in monthly parts, 1852-3, accompanied by the illustrations by ''Phiz'' reproduced in this volume. This edition also reprints the original Everyman preface by G. K. Chesterton.
