In 'Little Dorrit' he portrays a prison-world in which the shadow of the Marshalsea reaches from the rack-rented Bleeding Heart Yard to the high society of Harley Street and Hampton Court and the bureaucracy of the Circumlocution Office, as well as beyond the Alps to Venice and Rome. The Father of the Marshalsea is William Dorrit, long imprisoned for debt. He is tended by his daughter Amy, LIttle Dorrit, to whom the prison is home. She becomes the novel's liberator in her selfless devotion to her father and her redeeming love for Arthur Clennam.
