Description
Little Dorrit is a novel of serendipity and the complex web of fortunes won and lost in Victorian society. When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, he becomes interested in Amy Dorrit, his mother's seamstress, and the life of her father, William Dorrit, a man imprisoned for debt in Marshalsea prison. The dark shadow of the prison extends far beyond its walls, affecting the lives of many, including Mr Panks, Flora Finching, and Merdle. This revised edition of Little Dorrit includes expanded notes, appendices, and suggestions for further reading, as well as original illustrations. The book is part of the Penguin Classics series, which represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. With its authoritative text enhanced by an introduction and notes by distinguished scholars, this edition provides a valuable insight into Dickens's transformation of childhood memories of his father's incarceration in the Marshalsea debtors' prison. Published in 2004, this revised edition of Little Dorrit offers a masterful evocation of the state and psychology of imprisonment, a supreme work of Dickens's maturity.
