Summary By€discussing the work of€Thomas Hardy, Richard Jefferies, John Cowper Powys and Mary Butts, € Mapping the Wessex Novel€ imaginatively maps and excavates various districts of the 'west country' so as radically to redefine the 'parochial'; while being keenly aware of their own status as natives locked into complex histories of self-exile and return, estrangement and ardent identification. Contributing to the growing research on space and place in Victorian and Modernist writing, Radford uses the analysis of these writers as a lens through which to inspect the relationship bet.
