George H. Ford Papers
George H. Ford came to the University of Rochester as Professor in 1958 and served as the Chairman of the English Department from 1960-1972. He was the Joseph H. Gilmore Professor of English from 1967 until his retirement in 1984. Professor Ford was an internationally known Dickens scholar and authority on Victorian literature. This collection contains his correspondence and obituary.
Hard Times
Hard Times, Dickens's shortest novel and one of his major triumphs, tells the tragic story of Louisa Gradgrind and her father. No other work of Dickens presents so harsh an indictment against the attitude of life he associated with Utilitarianism. With savage bitterness Dickens exposes the devilish industries and institutions that exploited the bodies and minds of the vulnerable labor class.
Bleak House
Widely regarded as Dickens’s masterpiece, Bleak House centers on the generations-long lawsuit Jarndyce and Jarndyce, through which “whole families have inherited legendary hatreds.” Focusing on Esther Summerson, a ward of John Jarndyce, the novel traces Esther’s romantic coming-of-age and, in classic Dickensian style, the gradual revelation of long-buried secrets, all set against the foggy backdrop of the Court of Chancery. Mixing romance, mystery, comedy, and satire, Bleak House limns the suffering caused by the intricate inefficiency of the law.
