Böcker av Rod Mengham

A collection of essays about the art of the last thirty years from the Curator of Works at Jesus College, Cambridge.

This critical study of Hardy's short stories provides a thorough account of the ruling preoccupations and recurrent writing strategies of his entire corpus as well as providing detailed readings of several individual texts.

Henry Green's strange and heady writings derive their power in some way from their very secretiveness. In this 1982 study, Dr Mengham sets out to uncover the systematic basis of this quality in Green's writing, and to account for it in terms of the 'conditions of knowledge' of each text.

Mengham offers two books in one, prose and poetry, landscape and history.

This book provides consistently nuanced readings of individual texts as well as a broad view of the whole field of British writing during the period 1930s .
