Abstract

This essay aims to consider the nature and function of the threshold, understood in a broad sense, in Dickens's London, taking Great Expectations as its focus. Of particular interest are the ways in which thresholds can operate as areas of intensity; places where transformation between opposing or contradictory states occurs.
