Set partly in the United States this novel includes a searing satire on mid-nineteenth-century America. Martin Chuzzlewit is the story of two Chuzzlewits Martin and Jonas who have inherited the characteristic Chuzzlewit selfishness. It contrasts their diverse fates: moral redemption and worldly success for one and increasingly desperate crime for the other. In her Introduction to this new edition Patricia Ingham discusses how in writing a story that was meant only to recommend goodness and innocence Dickens succeeded in exploring the intertwining of moral sensibility and brutality.
