Holdsworth demonstrates how Dickens Bleak House epitomizes Court of Chancery procedures as well as minutiae of English law and how the Pickwick Papers presents issues of the common law. The book is comprised of lectures originally delivered in1927 at the Law School of Yale University.
According to the author, an acclaimed legal historian, "No two books outside the bounds of technical law are more worth reading for law students than Pickwick Papers and Bleak House."
