Summary
La Maison d'Âpre-Vent, en anglais Bleak House, est le neuvième roman publié par Charles Dickens, d'abord en vingt feuilletons entre mars 1852 et septembre 1853, puis en un volume en 1853. Bleak House, premier des grands romans panoramiques de Dickens, décrit l'Angleterre comme une bleak house, c'est-à-dire une « demeure de désolation », que ravage un système judiciaire irresponsable et vénal, incarné par le Chancelier (Chancellor), engoncé dans sa gloire « embrumée » de la Chancellerie (Court of Chancery). Ce livre emploie tels quels les termes injurieux, raciaux et autres, de son époque ; le Guide du livre explique ces mots là où ils apparaissent.
