"Bleak House" is narrated by Esther Summerson, describing her house of Bleak House, where she goes to live under a new guardian, Mr Jarndyce. At the heart of the novel is a long running legal case, Jarndyce and Jarndyce, in the Court of Chancery. The case surrounds a number of several conflicting wills written by the same person. This case was probably inspired by the Thellusson vs Woodford case, a will which was read in 1797, and was contested and not determined until 1859. The novel actually held support a judicial reform, in the form of the 1870s Judicature Acts. Charles Dickens is possibly the most well-known Victorian author, with his fifteen novels still being widely read and performed, as well as being studied in school and enjoyed by people of all ages. "Bleak House" was illustrated by Hablot Knight Browne, also known by his pen name "Phiz". Browne was an English illustrator who illustrated ten of Charles Dickens' books, including 'David Copperfield', and 'Dombey and Son'. Rebound with the original half calf boards lain on, with marbled paper to the boards. Externally, generally smart. Light bubing to the paper to the boards. Fading to the spine. Light mark to the spine. Joints are starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean with the odd spot, mostly to the first and last few pages and to the plates. Frontispiece has offset to the vignette title page. Very Good
