Description
Bleak House, Dickens’s most daring experiment in the narration of a complex plot, challenges the reader to make connections–between the fashionable and the outcast, the beautiful and the ugly, the powerful and their victims. Nowhere in Dickens’s later novels is his attack on an uncaring society more imaginatively embodied, and nowhere is the mixture of comedy and angry satire more deftly managed.

She shows, too, how the war victimized civilians through violence that extended beyond battlefieldsfrom disease, displacement, hardships, shortages, emotional wounds, and conflicts connected to the disintegration of slavery.Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, and nurses, of northerners and southerners, slaveholders and freedpeople, of the most exalted and the most humble are brought together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil Wars most fundamental and widely shared reality.
