In Little Dorrit Dickens mounts his single most ferocious onslaught against England and English society; against its government against its financiers against its artists and even against its ordinary citizens who at least in Bleeding Heart Yard believed that .foreigners were always immoral. that foreigners had no independent spirit." Ackroyd 758. Perhaps unsurprisingly many reviewers reviled the book upon its publication. Dickens' friend Hans Christian Andersen advised the author to ignore the critics: "They are forgotten in a week and your book stands and lives" Ackroyd 780. And indeed Little Dorrit does: not only a commercial success in its day poor press notwithstanding but also esteemed now as a "wonderfully rich novel-- rich in ideas rich in characterization rich in incident and written in a richly imaginative prose.

It began with a frame story in which Master Humphrey tells about himself and his small circle of friends which includes Mr. Pickwick and their penchant for telling stories. Several short stories were included followed by the novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. It is generally thought that Dickens originally intended The Old Curiosity Shop as a short story like the others that had appeared in Master Humphrey's Clock but after a few chapters decided to extend it into a novel. Master Humphrey appears as the first-person narrator in the first three chapters of The Old Curiosity Shop but then disappears stating "And now that I have carried this history so far in my own character and introduced these personages to the reader I shall for the convenience of the narrative detach myself from its further course and leave those who have prominent and necessary parts in it to speak and act for themselves."<br/><br/>Master Humphrey is a lonely man who lives in London. He keeps old manuscripts in an antique longcase clock by the chimney-corner. One day he decides that he would start a little club called Master Humphrey's Clock where the members would read out their manuscripts to the others. The members include Master Humphrey; a deaf gentleman Jack Redburn; retired merchant Owen Miles; and Mr. Pickwick from The Pickwick Papers. A mirror club in the kitchen Mr. Weller's Watch run by Mr. Weller has members including Humphrey's maid the barber and Sam Weller.<br/>Master Humphrey's Clock appeared after The Old Curiosity Shop to introduce Barnaby Rudge. After Barnaby Rudge Master Humphrey is left by himself by the chimney corner in a train of thoughts. Here the deaf gentleman continues the narration. Later the deaf gentleman and his friends return to Humphrey's house to find him dead. Humphrey has left money for the barber and the maid no doubt by traces of love that they would be married. Redburn and the deaf gentleman look after the house and the club closes for good.<br/><br/>In the portion of Master Humphrey's Clock which succeeds The Old Curiosity Shop Master Humphrey reveals to his friends that he is the character referred to as the 'single gentleman' in that story.<br/><br/>Provenance: With the armorial bookplate of Barbara Hylton Madge 1882-1967 on front paste-downs. Barbara Hylton Madge was the wife of Lieut. Col. C.A. Madge and mother to John Madge who wrote The Origins of Science Sociology. His brother Charles Henry Madge who was a poet journalist and a literary figure from his early twenties and founder of Mass Observation.<br/><br/>Smith I 6.
