Landscapes of Eternal Return
Description
Reviews / Votes
"This is an important book which will be essential reading for Tennyson and Hardy scholars but should also have wider international appeal. Few scholars are as qualified as Ebbatson to situate Victorian and Edwardian writers within the broader context of European thought. The author moves effortlessly between 'high theory' and traditional historically inflected close reading to produce an exciting and challenging read." (Valerie Purton, Anglia Ruskin University, UK)
