Explores 'scenic realism' in the major novels of Thomas Hardy and
Joseph Conrad Offers the first book-length study of connections
between these two major authors bringing new approaches to bear on
often-taught works Provides an understanding of impressionist
styles of writing that is drawn from contemporary empirical science
Tells a progressive chronological story of both authors' use of the
senses in their fiction Argues for a distinctive place for Hardy
and Conrad in late-Victorian fiction which challenges the narrative
of a modernist rupture with Victorian realism Supported by wide
reading in nineteenth-century science and letters, and
comprehensive knowledge of twentieth century criticism of the two
novelists 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 takes them beyond their 'Victorian' and 'Modernist'
labels to show how vivid and urgent these novels are for the modern
reader.
