Little Dorrit

Description

Little Dorrit, originally published in serial form between 1855 and 1857, satirizes the shortcomings of both government and society, including the institution of debtors' prisons, where debtors were imprisoned, unable to work, until they repaid their debts. The prison in this case is the Marshalsea, where Dickens's own father had been imprisoned.
