Hardback. Because Thomas Hardy's poetry and fiction are so closely associated with Wessex, it is easy to forget that he was, in his own words, half a Londoner, moving between country and capital throughout his life. This self-division, Mark Ford says, can be traced not only in works explicitly set in London but in his most regionally circumscribed novels. Num Pages: 280 pages, 17 halftones, 9 maps. BIC Classification: BGL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 166 x 255 x 27. Weight in Grams: 658.
