A central text both in Dickens's career and in the history of the
novel itself, Bleak House provides students and teachers occasion
to discuss Victorian social concerns involving law, crime, family,
education, and money and to learn about every stratum of English
society, from the aristocracy to the homeless. But the sheer size
of the novel and its narrative intricacy pose pedagogical
obstacles. The essays in this volume offer instructors an array of
practical strategies for use in the classroom: some describe
courses organized exclusively around Bleak House; others offer
ideas for teaching a single scene or topic in the novel. The book
opens with part 1, "Materials," which assesses editions and
provides a guide to the wealth of resources available to
instructors, including reference works, critical studies, and
background readings, in print and on the Web. The essays in part 2,
"Approaches," discuss nineteenth-century British culture and
Victorian social texts; present ways to teach specific scenes,
patterns, and problems in the novel; describe intertextual
approaches; and detail specific courses taught in different
settings and at a variety of educational levels.
