	Little Dorrit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much of Dickens' ire is focused upon the institutions of debtor's prisons—in which people who owed money were imprisoned, unable to work, until they repaid their debts.
		The representative prison in this case is the Marshalsea.
		The plot revolves around the characters of Little Dorrit, whose father is imprisoned in the Marshalsea for much of the novel, and of the businessman Arthur Clennam.

		The Marshalsea of Dickens' youth was located on Borough High Street in the Southwark section of London, and has been described as a village behind bars; whole families resided there and visitors were permitted daily until the gates were shut at 10pm.
		A portion of The Marshalsea's high wall that includes its entrance gate is still standing, just north of the church of St. George the Martyr, and can be indentified by a small commemorative plaque that was added by the local government.
		The Marshalsea was already closed by the time Dickens began writing LITTLE DORRIT in 1855, and all but this last wall, which is adjacent to a pathway that leads to the Southwark Studies Library, was demolished sometime afterward.

	Chapter The Child of the Marshalsea of Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens
		The milliner—who was not morose or hard-hearted, only newly insolvent—was touched, took her in hand with goodwill, found her the most patient and earnest of pupils, and made her a cunning work-woman in course of time.
		The more Fatherly he grew as to the Marshalsea, and the more dependent he became on the contributions of his changing family, the greater stand he made by his forlorn gentility.
		There was a ruined uncle in the family group—ruined by his brother, the Father of the Marshalsea, and knowing no more how than his ruiner did, but accepting the fact as an inevitable certainty—on whom her protection devolved.

		With a still surviving attachment to the one miserable yard and block of houses as her birthplace and home, she passed to and fro in it shrinkingly now, with a womanly consciousness that she was pointed out to every one.

	Chapter The Father of the Marshalsea of Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens
		His words were remembered and repeated; and tradition afterwards handed down from generation to generation—a Marshalsea generation might be calculated as about three months—that the shabby old debtor with the soft manner and the white hair, was the Father of the Marshalsea.
		He received them in his poor room (he disliked an introduction in the mere yard, as informal—a thing that might happen to anybody), with a kind of bowed-down beneficence.
		It became a not unusual circumstance for letters to be put under his door at night, enclosing half-a- crown, two half-crowns, now and then at long intervals even half-a-sovereign, for the Father of the Marshalsea.

		The story of Little Dorrit plays out in and around the Marshalsea prison, one of London's best known gaols and one with which Dickens was well acquainted, since his father spent some months incarcerated there for debt.
		The prison, which, unusually, was very much like a village behind bars, had been shut down by the time the author came to write Little Dorrit but relics of it remained.
		All that is left of the Marshalsea today stands in the remnant of St. George's Church (right) yard where a simple and uninformative plaque put up by the council does little to commemorate the spot.

	Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens 19
		If Young John had ever slackened in his truth in the less penetrable days of his boyhood, when youth is prone to wear its boots unlaced and is happily unconscious of digestive organs, he had soon strung it up again and screwed it tight.
		No, no. The Father of the Marshalsea was supposed to know nothing about the matter, of course: his poor dignity could not see so low.
		And so he left her: first observing that she sat down on the corner of a seat, and not only rested her little hand upon the rough wall, but laid her face against it too, as if her head were heavy, and her mind were sad.
