Supposing 'Bleak House' is an extended meditation on what many consider to be Dickenss and nineteenthcentury Englands greatest work of narrative fiction. Focusing on the novels retrospective narrator, whom he identifies as Esther Woodcourt in order to distinguish her from her younger, unmarried self, John Jordan offers provocative new readings of the novels narrative structure, its illustrations, its multiple and indeterminate endings, the role of its famous detective, Inspector Bucket, its many ghosts, and its relation to key events in Dickenss life during the years 1850 to 1853.Jordan draws on insights from narratology and psychoanalysis in order to explore multiple dimensions of Esthers complex subjectivity and fractured narrative voice. His conclusion considers Bleak House as a national allegory, situating it in the context of the troubled decade of the 1840s and in relation to Dickenss seldomstudied A Childs History of England (written during the same years as his great novel) and to Jacques Derridas Specters of Marx.Supposing 'Bleak House' claims Dickens as a powerful investigator of the unconscious mind and as a 'popular' novelist deeply committed to social justice and a politics of inclusiveness.Victorian Literature and Culture Series
