"Little Dorrit" is a novel by Charles Dickens, first published in serial form between 1855 and 1857. The story is a social critique of the shortcomings of both government and society, encapsulated in the life and experiences of its protagonist, Amy Dorrit. Born in the Marshalsea debtors' prison, where her father has been incarcerated for many years, Amy, also known as Little Dorrit, grows up in the shadow of financial ruin and social stigma. Despite her circumstances, she remains a beacon of kindness and resilience.

The novel delves into themes of poverty, class disparity, and the bureaucratic inefficiencies of the British government, particularly through the depiction of the Circumlocution Office, a satirical representation of governmental red tape. Dickens uses his characters to explore the impact of these societal flaws on individual lives. The narrative intertwines the fates of the Dorrit family with that of Arthur Clennam, a man returning to England after many years abroad, who becomes entangled in their struggles and mysteries.

"Little Dorrit" is notable for its rich characterizations and intricate plot, which weaves together various subplots and a large ensemble of characters, each contributing to the overarching themes of the novel. Dickens' portrayal of the Marshalsea prison is informed by his own father's imprisonment for debt, lending authenticity and emotional depth to the narrative.
