The story of William Dorrit, imprisoned as a debtor in Marshalsea prison

Highly regarded today as one of the greatest novels of English literature, Little Dorrit presents both a scathing indictment of mid-Victorian England and a devastating insight into the human condition.

Against a background of administrative and financial scandal, Dickens tells the moving story of the old Marshalsea prisoner who inherits a fortune and his devoted daughter’s love for a man who believe he has done with love.
