Bleak House is a novel by Charles Dickens originally serialized between 1852 and 1853. The story's central thread is the long-running legal case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, a pointed satire of the nineteenth century Court of Chancery which had a significant impact in promoting legal reform.

The novel's wide-ranging social observation included one of the first detective characters in English fiction, Inspector Bucket, who may have been inspired by the early Scotland Yard detective Jack Whicher.
