Description
1857 Charles Dickens 1st ed 1st printing LITTLE DORRIT Social Classes Marshalsea



Little Dorrit “is a wonderfully rich novel— rich in ideas, rich in characterization, rich in incident, and written in a richly imaginative prose…many critics regard it as Dickens masterpiece” (Watts).



This rare first book edition of Charles Dickens “Little Dorrit” is a masterpiece in political satire. Dickens emphasizes and exposes many of the deficiencies and short-comings within the governmental system – specifically the debt collection systems. In addition to these critiques, Dickens makes clear his concern for the safety and treatment of industrial workers. A true story of the differences in social classes! This fine first edition includes 40 charming illustrations! Must see!
