Description
Little Dorrit is a deeply moving exploration of human relationships and the distortions caused by class and money. Against the backdrop of government incompetence and financial scandal, Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, searching for answers about the affairs of the Dorrit family, who are trapped in debt at the Marshalsea prison. As he navigates this complex world, Clennam discovers the key to his own heart through a chance encounter with Amy Dorrit, a young seamstress. However, it is only after he learns to understand himself that he can begin to see the truth about those around him. Dickens's portrayal of human nature is both humorous and poignant, revealing the inadequacy of secular morality in the face of social and political confusion. This new edition of Little Dorrit includes all of Phiz's original illustrations and a wide-ranging introduction highlighting Dickens's move towards more personal and spiritual concerns.
