Charles Dickens First Edition 1857 Little Dorrit
Bradbury and Evans 1857
The first edition in book form of this classic Dickens novel, Little Dorrit
Little Dorrit is a serial novel by Charles Dickens published originally between 1855 and 1857. It is a work of satire on the shortcomings of the government and society of the period. Much of Dickens' ire is focused upon the institutions of debtors' prisons&mdashin which people who owed money were imprisoned, unable to work, until they repaid their debts. The representative prison in this case is the Marshalsea where the author's own father had been imprisoned. Most of Dickens' other critiques in this particular novel concern the social safety net: industry, and the treatment and safety of workers the bureaucracy of the British Treasury (as figured in the fictional "Circumlocution Office") and the separation of people based on the lack of intercourse between the classes.
