Add Tag | Summary: | Bleak House is considered by many leading critics to be one of Dicken's finest achievements, ensuring his reputation as a serious and mature novelist as well as a consummate entertainer. It is a story of love and inheritance, and its graphic depiction of the realities and costs of High Court legal actions-drawn from the author's personal knowledge and experience-have direct relevance to our own time. The book contains a galaxy of some of Dickens' most brilliantly drawn characters, while the atmosphere, places and events are described with his usual perceptive eye and love of detail as he seeks to portray the everyday reality of the London of the early to mid-nineteenth century. |
