Biografía: p. 31-32

"Little Dorrti (1856/7) is one of thhat handful of masterpieces of Dicken´s maturity in which this imaginative genius embraces the whole fabric of a changing society. The Marshalsea, Bleeding Heart Yard, and the Circumlocution Office are only the principal features of a landscape drawn with all his awareness of and delight in the multitudinously refacted surfaces of life. Embedded thoght it is in teh social and political preoccupations of the time, Little Dorrit goes far beyond the political. With little hope for change in society itself, Dickens´s vision in this novel is of a world of hypocrisy and sharm, of exploiters and parasites - a world of prisons, real and metaphysical, in which reality itslef is imprisoned by appearances." contraportada.
