Abstract
Weather in Bleak House is a representational locus for Charles Dickens’s bleak environmentalism: my term for his concern with the body’s porous receptivity to physical and political environments that restrict individual agency. Situating the novel in relation to Victorian meteorology and chemistry, I suggest these scientific contexts scaffolded Dickens’s critique of legal institutions that systemically weather human life, helping him make visible the material impact of bureaucratic biopolitics.
