In Waterland, contemporary British writer Graham Swift tells the protagonist Tom, using a mix of reality and history recreates the ecological devastation of the Fens Marsh, the fall of the Atkinson family and the spiritual collapse of the people. This paper attempts to explore the dilemma of human existence by starting from Henry’s spatial theory and dividing it into physical space, social space and mental space.
