Summary:“‘Anywhere’s Nowhere’: The Representation of Embodied Spatiality in Charles Dickens’s Bleak House ” addresses the novel’s representation of space as an open zone of interaction where the circulation of affect among embodied subjects and the places and things in their environment challenges the individualist axis of the typical Victorian plot. In this reading, it is the disabled body of Phil Squod that most fully reveals the novel’s emphasis on spatial liminality and character as continuous with environment.
