ISBN: 0312224036 ISBN-13: 9780312224035 Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan OUR PRICE: $104.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: June 2000 Annotation: "Reading Hardy's Landscapes" locates the essential energy of the novels in the descriptive detail as much as in the story. The emphasis is on the author's habits of vision and imagination. It is instinctive in Hardy to locate his tales between the huge abstractions of time and space and the minute particularities of nature--a leaf, a minnow, a gnat. His human dramas unfold in a landscape and are part of that landscape, caught up in larger patterns of movement and change. |
