- Summary
- "This critical study examines the ways in which 21 modern and postmodern British writers (from Tennyson to Ted Hughes, from H. E. Bates to Jane Gardam) have made use of the physical environment of riverbank and seashore in their work. It considers how each author employs the physical settings in the service of plot and character development, and how those settings are used to connect with some of the major intellectual concerns of the late 19th and 20th centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
