Charles Dickens, at the level of his creative forces in this great work, pursues two great topics: the murky institutional fog that darkens and cripples all of England, symbolized by the limitless litigation of the Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce case in the High Courtroom of Chancery, and the familiar Dickensian concern with the capricious treatment and maltreatment of children as exemplified by the pitiful castoff Jo and the overindulged Harold Skimpole. The storyline that carries these themes calls for the form of a compelling mystery, a romantic tangle of trails accompanied by three vibrant sleuths: the opportunistic Guppy, the sinister Tulkinghorn, and the benevolent Bucket. Only through the skill of Dickens can artfully made enigma so intensify and illuminate strict interpersonal commentary. This family portrait of London world is often thought to be Dickens' best.
