With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, University of
Kent at Canterbury. Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz). Bleak
House is one of Dickens' finest achievements, establishing his
reputation as a serious and mature novelist, as well as a brilliant
comic writer. It is at once a complex mystery story that fully
engages the reader in the work of detection, and an unforgettable
indictment of an indifferent society. Its representations of a
great city's underworld, and of the law's corruption and delay,
draw upon the author's personal knowledge and experience. But it is
his symbolic art that projects these things in a vision that
embraces black comedy, cosmic farce, and tragic ruin. In a unique
creative experiment, Dickens divides the narrative between his
heroine, Esther Summerson, who is psychologically interesting in
her own right, and an unnamed narrator whose perspective both
complements and challenges hers.
