«Bleak House» is the mystery novel by Charles Dickens published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd in paperback (800 pages, in English).
The legal dispute Jarndyce and Jarndyce drags on for generations in Victorian London, and Dickens weaves around it fates such as that of Esther Summerson, who sees friends and neighbours caught up in the process. Inheritance, love, blackmail and murder surround the case, while the fog and cold reflect the corruption of society.
Edition from the Wordsworth Classics collection, with introduction and notes by Doreen Roberts and illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz). The novel was originally published in 1853.
For a general audience interested in nineteenth-century classic fiction with elements of mystery and social criticism.
Charles John Huffam Dickens was an English writer and journalist. He created some of literature's best-known fictional characters, and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read today.
