This volume focuses on the idea of 'vital geographies' in literature from 1871 to 1945. Studying works by writers such as George Eliot, Hardy, Conrad, Lawrence, Forster, Woolf, and T. S. Eliot, the volume explores the relationship between literature and the land.
European culture after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 was no stranger to ancient beliefs in an organic, religiously sanctioned, and aesthetically pleasing relationship to the land. The many resonances of this relationship form a more or less coherent whole, in which the supposed cosmopolitanism of the modern age is belied by a deep commitment to regional, nationalist, and civilizational attachments, including a justifying theological armature, much of which is still with us today. This volume untangles the meaning of the vital geographies of the period, including how they shaped its literature and intellectual life.
