Bleak House - Wordsworth Classics

Product Description

Details:
Bleak House is one of Dickenss finest achievements, establishing his reputation as a serious & 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, & an unforgettable indictment of an indifferent society.

Its representations of a great citys dark underworld, & one of the laws corruption & delay, draw upon the authors personal knowledge & experience. But it is his symbolic art that projects these things in a vision that embraces black comedy, cosmic farce, & tragic ruin.

In a unique creative experiment, Dickens divides the narrative between his heroine, Esther Summerson, who is psychologically interesting in her own right, & an unnamed narrator whose perspective both complements & challenge hers.

Ideal for:
This would be great for fans of classic fiction.
