en-wikipedia-org-3615		Bleak House - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	6848	691	75	Bleak House is a novel by Charles Dickens, first published as a 20-episode serial between March 1852 and September 1853. Scholars – such as the English legal historian Sir William Searle Holdsworth, in his 1928 series of lectures Charles Dickens as a Legal Historian published by Yale University Press – have made a plausible case for treating Dickens's novels, and Bleak House in particular, as primary sources illuminating the history of English law. In the preface of the book edition of Bleak House, Dickens wrote: "I shall not abandon the facts until there shall have been a considerable Spontaneous Combustion of the testimony on which human occurrences are usually received." K. Chesterton are among those literary critics and writers who consider Bleak House to be the best novel that Charles Dickens wrote. Like most Dickens novels, Bleak House was published in 20 monthly instalments, each containing 32 pages of text and two illustrations by Phiz (the last two being published together as a double issue).	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3615.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3615.txt
