Bleak House was published in 20 monthly parts between March 1852 and September 1853. It is held to be one of Charles Dickens' (1812-1870) finest novels, containing one of the most vast, complex and engaging arrays of minor characters and sub-plots in his entire canon. At the novel's core is a long-running litigation in the Court of Chancery, Jarndyce v Jarndyce, which has far-reaching consequences for all involved. Hablot Knight Browne (1815-1882), painter and illustrator; known as 'Phiz'.
