About this product

Product Information

With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, University of Kent at Canterbury. Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz). Bleak House is one of Dickens' finest achievements, establishing his reputation as a serious and mature novelist, as well as a brilliant comic writer. It is at once a complex mystery story that fully engages the reader in the work of detection, and an unforgettable indictment of an indifferent society. Its representations of a great city's underworld, and of the law's corruption and delay, draw upon the author's personal knowledge and experience. But it is his symbolic art that projects these things in a vision that embraces black comedy, cosmic farce, and tragic ruin. In a unique creative experiment, Dickens divides the narrative between his heroine, Esther Summerson, who is psychologically interesting in her own right, and an unnamed narrator whose perspective both complements and challenges hers.

  • Bleak... but perfectly so

    One of the best novels ever written in the English language, BLEAK HOUSE has everything going for it: great characters, a many-layered plt, and a lot to say about society. Dickens is the ONLY male writer to realisitcally create a female narrator and dashes the myths about Vicorian women. He also careflly builds situations stuffed with comentary about class. legitimacy, non-altruistic charity, and the hpocritical treatment of women then and now. Some episodes are hilarious while others are heartbreaking, and the climax, completely unexpected, is amongst the best-placed and best-written ever. Read it, if for no other reason than to learn how to write.

  • Dickens still rules

    I haven't read a Dickens novel in about a decade, and I'd forgotten how compelling his descriptions and characters are. The depiction of the fog is worth the price of entry.
