W.h. Hudson And The Elusive Paradise
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
This book examines the writings of W. H. Hudson and discusses the symbolism found in his works of fiction and non-fiction. The author suggests that Hudson sometimes approaches a supernatural dimension in his writing and that this might properly be called epiphanic. 'Affirmative' epiphany affirms the earthly by revealing the divine through or within it; it is either directly paradisiac, or assimilable to a vision of the earthly Paradise. In contrast, 'negative' epiphany opens up a chasm of terror and dread through, amongst other things, violence, affliction, and human submersion in evil. The paradisial endures, as a fractured and elusive subject of experience, constantly threatened by contingency, violence, or evil. Good unannotated copy in unclipped dustjacket; a few pencil markings and a crease to front flyleaf, and also dustjacket has a ballpoint pen line through the barcode and a small tear on reverse, plus crease at top of spine.
