Reference guide for what Dickens may have been experiencing in his life as his books were written and released. Mostly educational and enlightening (David Copperfield, Great Expectations), in the case of Little Dorritt I am somewhat sorry I read the analysis because it rocked my idealistic view of the book. I have ADHD so hopefully that analysis will be one of my vanishing memories. Every day is "Groundhog's Day", as in every book is like new to me, even if previously read. When I re-read Little Dorritt I hope I can connect with what I thought was so beautiful about it.
