About the book

Charles Dickens's Bleak House centres on the seemingly endless legal case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, a dispute over an inheritance that has consumed fortunes and ruined lives within the Court of Chancery. Around this case Dickens weaves together a vast cast of characters, including the compassionate Esther Summerson, the mysterious Lady Dedlock and the unfortunate Jo, a homeless crossing sweeper. The novel combines mystery, social criticism and family drama while exposing legal corruption, poverty and institutional indifference in Victorian Britain.
