Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Little Dorrit" by Charles Dickens is a novel published in serial form between 1855 and 1857. Amy Dorrit, born and raised in London's Marshalsea debtors' prison, captures the attention of Arthur Clennam upon his return from twenty years abroad. As Arthur investigates a cryptic message from his dying father, their lives intertwine amid questions of debt, family secrets, and social class. Dickens satirizes Victorian society's failures—from debtors' prisons to government bureaucracy—while exploring how sudden fortune can transform lives and relationships.
