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. Many modern critics regard it as Dickens' masterpiece" Watts 108. Bradbury and Evans unknown books
