Beskrivning
This book reads the highly descriptive impressionist writings of Hardy and Conrad together in the light of a shared attention to sight and sound. With a focus on nature and the environment, Hugh Epstein analyses thirteen of these powerful works in the historical company of contemporary discussions in Victorian science. He re-frames their 'Victorian' and 'Modernist' labels to show how vivid and urgent these novels are for the modern reader.
