The labyrinthine, ingenious plot of Bleak House focuses on the
seemingly endless lawsuit Jarndyce and Jarndyce, an inheritance
dispute that has been moving through the courts for years. Dozens
of characters, including the innocent young narrator Esther
Summerson, her friends Richard Carstone and Ada Clare, and the
jaded aristocrats Sir Leicester and Lady Honoria Dedlock, are
directly or indirectly caught up in the case. Written in bold and
inventive language, Bleak House is Dickens's epic vision of
Victorian society.The critical introduction and extensive
appendices to this edition focus on the novel's social context and
reception, Dickens's treatment of his women characters and the
working class, and the inequalities of the Victorian legal system.
