The Descent of the Imagination: Post-Romantic Culture in the Later Novels of Thomas Hardy - Softcover
Synopsis
The Descent of the Imagination places Thomas Hardy's writing within the context of nineteenth-century fiction writing as a genre. Moore therefore regards his examination of Hardy's work as a form of archaeology as well as a genealogy of the romantic figure in fiction, from Wordsworth through Hardy. The book provides a new interpretation of Hardy's method of composition and uses new source material that will interest Hardy scholars. It offers an original view of the novelist that argues that his work, especially his later writings, were a deliberate rewriting of romanticism.

Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to the extremities and very mild rubbing; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. Shows a couple of very minor flaws; but remains a handsome copy: clean, sturdy, and quite presentable: in fact, in overall appearance, remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder.
