Book Trailers: 'Bleak House' by Charles Dickens

November 19, 2014 Natalie Morath

Apologies for the terrible quality of this video, and the utter cheese-fest that is the Masterpiece Classics  Bleak House trailer. Try to ignore the fact that this trailer seems more excited by the actors than by the characters or the story, and don't pay too close of attention or the plot will be completely spoiled. Try instead to focus on the transcendence of Agent Scully, on display here in all her melancholy glory. I saw this trailer a few years ago, probably on the DVD of some other Masterpiece mini series, and it prompted me to read not just Bleak House, but six other novels by Charles Dickens, who I had ingeniously avoided up to that point. And all for Gillian Anderson. And just in case you need further inspiration:

If you enjoy this type of thing, there are literally hundreds of mini series you should be watching (and accompanying novels you should be reading).

In Book Trailers Tags Gillian Anderson, Bleak House, Charles Dickens, Great Expectations, Masterpiece Classic
