Little Dorrit, Volume I (Esprios Classics)

Über Little Dorrit, Volume I (Esprios Classics)

Little Dorrit is a novel by Charles Dickens. The story features Amy Dorrit, youngest child of her family, born and raised in the Marshalsea prison for debtors in London. Arthur Clennam encounters her after returning home from a 20-year absence, ready to begin his life anew. The novel satirises the shortcomings of both government and society, including the institution of debtors'' prisons, where debtors were imprisoned, unable to work, until they repaid their debts. Dickens is also critical of the lack of a social safety net, the treatment and safety of industrial workers, as well as the bureaucracy of the British Treasury, in the form of his fictional "Circumlocution Office". He also satirises the stratification of society that results from the British class system.
