Notes
"Bleak House," a novel by Charles Dickens, is considered one of his most complex and ambitious works. Published in 1852-1853, it explores the intricacies of the British legal system through the lens of the protracted case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce. The narrative interweaves a wide cast of characters, highlighting the social injustices and the corrupting influence of the Chancery Court. The dual narrative structure, alternating between the omniscient third-person and the first-person account of Esther Summerson, enriches the storytelling, providing a profound critique of societal ills and the pursuit of justice.
