With an Introduction and Notes by Peter Preston, University of
Nottingham. With Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz). Little
Dorrit is a classic tale of imprisonment, both literal and
metaphorical, while Dickens' working title for the novel, Nobody's
Fault, highlights its concern with personal responsibility in
private and public life. Dickens' childhood experiences inform the
vivid scenes in Marshalsea debtor's prison, while his adult
perceptions of governmental failures shape his satirical picture of
the Circumlocution Office. The novel's range of characters - the
honest, the crooked, the selfish and the self-denying - offers a
portrait of society about whose values Dickens had profound doubts.
Little Dorrit is indisputably one of Dickens' finest works, written
at the height of his powers. George Bernard Shaw called it 'a
masterpiece among masterpices', a vedict shared by the novel's many
admirers.
