Examining the many social and mental prisons which incarcerate men and women  the novel also considers the nature of true spiritual freedom. 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 daughters love for a man who believes he has done with love. He draws widely on the events of his own life and times  yet focuses a powerful imaginative vision which is as universal as it is specific  immediate  and intense. In Little Dorrit Dickens displays his characteristic mastery of irony and pathos  of satire and comedy  and the novel exemplifies his most mature  ambitious  and effective writing. This edition  which has the definitive Clarendon text  also includes Dickenss working notes and eight of the original illustrations from the first edition by Phiz.
