Riassunto

WEYMOUTH SANDS is the completion of John Cowper Powys' great trilogy that also contains WOLF SOLENT and A GLASTONBURY ROMANCE. Set in the idealized Dorset seaside town of Weymouth, it follows the fortunes of a group of lower-middle class characters who contrive to somehow make a living. Through the apparently small scale nature of their lives run tumultuous themes, here played out against the scandal that surrounds a local vivisection laboratory. "An immensity to which only Blake could provide any parallel in English literature" George Steiner "Talk about point of view... Powys talks about the real essence of things" Gail Godwin
