"The meek inherits the earth"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The times (1820–1860) then in England, seen by Jane Austen, or in Oliver or in Les Miserables, gives an idea of the scenery, of lost wealth and remaining dignity and courage, or a turning into secret mischief while the heroin stays in complete virtue. Little miss Amy of the gentleman's Dorrit family shows girly weakness but appears with such an inner strength that it surprises. The London drab scenery of decayed mansions and the transit of the Gloria mundi carries an obvious hope for improvement of circumstances Eventually we are taken to the dream scenery of Venice and beyond In the 13 episodes of one hour each I find consolation and entertainment. Miss Dorrit is a beautiful girl

Description

Acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, Bleak House) brings to DVD an all new Dickens adaptation starring Academy Award Nominee Tom Courtenay (The Golden Compass), Matthew Macfadyen (MI-5, Pride and Prejudice) and newcomer Claire Foy (Being Human). This gripping new series brings to life Dickens's powerful story of struggle and hardship in 1820s London.

When Arthur Clennam (Macfadyen) returns to England after many years abroad, his curiosity is piqued by the presence in his mother's house of a young seamstress, Amy Dorrit (Foy). His quest to discover the truth about “Little Dorrit” takes him to the Marshalsea Debtors Prison, where he discovers that the dark shadows of debt stretch far and wide. Filled with humorous yet tragic characters, Little Dorrit is a stirring rags to riches to rags story, exposing the underbelly of nineteenth century British society as only Charles Dickens can.
