John Forster fu un biografo e critico inglese il cui lavoro si concentrò sull'approfondita ricerca e ricostruzione della vita e dei tempi di figure storiche significative. Con il suo stile meticoloso e il suo approccio analitico, offrì ai lettori profonde intuizioni sui momenti cruciali della storia inglese e ritratti avvincenti dei suoi protagonisti. Un acuto osservatore sia della storia che della letteratura, Forster si affermò come una figura di spicco nei circoli letterari della sua epoca.

When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, he takes a kindly interest in Amy Dorrit, his mother's seamstress, and in the affairs of Amy's father, William Dorrit, a man of shabby grandeur, long imprisoned for debt in the Marshalsea. As Arthur soon discovers, the dark shadow of the prison stretches far beyond its walls to affect the lives of many, from the kindly Mr. Pancks, the reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding Heart Yard, and the tipsily garrulous Flora Finching, to Merdle, an unscrupulous financier, and the bureaucratic Barnacles in the Circumlocution Office. A masterly evocation of the state and psychology of imprisonment, Little Dorrit is one of the supreme works of Dickens's maturity.
