Upon his return to England after many years overseas, Arthur Clenman takes a curious interest in Amy Dorrit, his mother's seamstress, and in Amy's father, William Dorrit, who has been imprisoned many years for outstanding debts in the Marshalsea. As their relationship progresses, Arthur learns that William's imprisonment affects people beyond the walls as well, from kind Mr. Panks, a reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding Heart Yard, and talkative Flora Finching to Merdle, a coldhearted financier. Upon his return to England after many years overseas, Arthur Clenman takes a curious interest in Amy Dorrit, his mother's seamstress, and in Amy's father, William Dorrit, who has been imprisoned many years for outstanding debts in the Marshalsea. As their relationship progresses, Arthur learns that William's imprisonment affects people beyond the walls as well, from kind Mr. Panks, a reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding Heart Yard, and talkative Flora Finching to Merdle, a coldhearted financier. Having fully matured into the unparalleled author he is revered as today, Dickens crafts yet another moving story that serves both as entertainment but also a profound critique of the prison system of his time. Little Dorrit is certainly one of Dickens' most flawless works.
