Following his father's death John Harmon returns to London to claim
his inheritance, but he finds he is eligible only if he marries
Bella Wilfur. To observe her character he assumes another identity
and secures work with his father's foreman, Mr Boffin, who is also
Bella's guardian.
Disguise and concealment play an important role in the novel and
individual identity is examined within the wider setting of London
life: in the 1860s the city was aflame with spiralling financial
speculation while thousands of homeless scratched a living from the
detritus of the more fortunate-indeed John Harmon's father has
amassed his wealth by recycling waste.
This edition includes extensive explanatory notes and significant
manuscript variants.
