Bleak House, Dickens's most daring experiment in the narration of a
complex plot, challenges the reader to make connections - -between
the fashionable and the outcast, the beautiful and the ugly, the
powerful and the victims. Nowhere in Dickens's later novels is his
attack on an uncaring society more imaginatively embodied, but
nowhere either is the mixture of comedy and angry satire more
deftly managed. Bleak House defies a single description. It is a
mystery story, in which Esther Summerson discovers the truth about
her birth and her unknown mother's tragic life. It is a murder
story, which comes to a climax in a thrilling chase, led by one of
the earliest detectives in English fiction, Inspector Bucket. And
it is a fable about redemption, in which a bleak house is
transformed by the resilience of human love. ABOUT THE SERIES: For
over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the
widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable
volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the
most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features,
including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful
notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further
study, and much more.
