As Angus Wilson writes in his introduction, "The setting, though recognizably Weymouth and Portland, is much more than that, it is a claim for a pantheistic (yet never declaredly transcendental) universe in which men, their acts and the memories of those acts survive only through the timeless, so-called inanimate world they live in."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
