The New Student's Reference Work/Bleak House

Bleak House, a novel written by Charles Dickens during 1852-3. This novel was in part a satire on the long delays of the Court of Chancery; but the story itself is a great favorite. It has been said that the dreary residence from which the name of the book is taken was suggested to the author by a residence at Broadstairs, Kent, where Dickens lived in summer.
