Perfect for anybody wondering whether Dickens propensity to caricature makes his sorties into legal territory more entertainment and emotion than authoritative document. Holdsworth certainly carries authority and isn't without entertainment value.

Enjoyed this enormously and hope to profit from it.

Thoroughly delightful book, highly recommended!

An interesting and readable account of the law and lawyers in Charles Dickens’ novels, recommended for anyone interested in legal history, early Victorian social history or the background of Dickens’ works.
