Little Dorrit is a novel by Charles Dickens, initially distributed in sequential structure somewhere in the range of 1855 and 1857.

The story highlights Amy Dorrit, most youthful offspring of her family, brought up in the Marshalsea jail for indebted individuals in London.

Arthur Clennam experiences her in the wake of getting back from a 20-year nonappearance, prepared to start his life again. The novel ridicules a few weaknesses of both government and society, including the foundation of indebted individuals' jails, where borrowers were detained, incapable to work but imprisoned until they had reimbursed their obligations.

The jail for this situation is the Marshalsea, where Dickens' own dad had been detained.

Dickens is likewise incredulous of the feeble organization of the British government, in this original as the imaginary "Aversion Office".

Dickens likewise parodies the delineation of society that outcomes from the British class framework.
