Description and Table of Contents

Description

This study explores a number of parallels between the fiction of two apparently dissimilar writers - arguably the greatest novelist of English rural life and his American counterpart.

Table of Contents

  • Dorset - "the lost sense of home"
  • Mississippi - "the implacable and brooding image"
  • "a full look at the worst"
  • "novels of character and environment" - the sense of place and the folk-historical perspective
  • "a series of seemings" - the marriage of form and content.
