«Little Dorrit» is the Victorian novel by Charles Dickens, published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd. in paperback (848 pages, in English).
Arthur Clennam returns to England and meets Amy Dorrit, daughter of a debtor in Marshalsea prison. The novel shows how confinement, real and metaphorical, conditions private and public life, and satirizes Victorian institutions such as the Circumlocution Office bureaucracy, financial speculation and class hypocrisies.
The work was first published in 1857. This Wordsworth Classics edition includes an introduction and notes by Peter Preston and the illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz).
For readers of classics and Victorian fiction, with an interest in social satire and the portrayal of nineteenth-century England.
