While most of their contemporaries were looking the other way, Dickens and Thoreau on the both sides of the Atlantic were much concerned about the destructive impacts which the great shift of civilization with its new production method was bringing about in human life. With his Walden, the major canon of environmental literature and ecocriticism, Thoreau was both a philosopher of ecology and a hard-core environmental activist. Though the reader of Dickens’s novels is most familiar with London and its dirty and noisy streets crowded with people from all walks of life, dogs and horses, and carriages, scenes from his novels also string out along the desolate marshes between the Medway and the Thames. Dickens frequented them not only for his walks but for impressive loci in his work including Great Expectations. In response to the escalating environmental crisis caused by industrialism, Dickens dealt with the metropolitan civilization of London streets and London interiors, focusing on water through its degenerated phases in the process of industrial revolution, that is, water ‘trapped’ and polluted in the ineffectual and wasteful city life. A close reading of Dickens reveals that water is the first element of nature losing its ecological order first of all. Both as the primary source of life and the principal means of maintaining all the forms of life, water proves most vulnerable to the harsh reality of industrialization.
This paper aims to explore several phases of existence of water-the river through London and wetlands around the city, and muddy puddles on the road-in a fast urbanized environment represented in Dickens’s novels. (Here, as a kind of touchstone for ecological definitions of water and marshes, we can exploit some subversive concepts of Thoreauvian ecological thought relating to the significance of wetlands and woodlands.) The reader is reminded of another meteorological form of water quite salient in Dickens. Enfolding human and things and diffusing through them all, fog affects human feelings and perception to the degree that we can never fail to pay attention to. In the age of the industrial revolution, each year saw the environment badly destroyed with the unprecedented speed and scale, which was perpetrated by the commercial and manufacturing interests. The wanton destruction of wetlands and woodlands was endangering not only wildlife and the ecological order but the very foundation of human life as well. It was now apparent that man had an enormously greater power to disrupt and put an end to the order of nature, while its aftermath in turn impinged on man and his civilization. Through Dickens’s superb characterization tinged with allegorical implications, the reader meets with some stereotypes of dehumanization, which results from the values and institutions of expansionary capitalism.
