The Companion to 'Bleak House', Paperback / softback Book

The Companion to 'Bleak House' Paperback / softback

Part of the Dickens Companions series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book, first published in 1988, is the most comprehensive annotation of Bleak House ever undertaken.

It provides authoritative background information about the topical issues of the novel that interested Dickens as a social critic and activist.

It also describes the novel’s literary antecedents and identifies the sources of its hundreds of literary and historical allusions.

The annotation is based on a wide range of nineteenth-century sources – from newspapers, periodicals and parliamentary papers to travel guides and cookery books – and gives the modern reader unprecedented access to both Bleak House – Dickens’s tract for the times – and the period when it was written.
