"Prose, wrote Arthur Symons, 'listens at the doors of all the senses'. Reading the fiction of Hardy and Conrad alongside the work of nineteenth-century physical scientists, Hugh Epstein shows in fascinating detail how their prose listens, and what it hears. This is a book that will both excite and reward readers of either novelist.-- ""Phillip Mallett, University of St Andrews"" Hardy, Conrad and the Senses raises the bar for anyone writing about either of these two authors; for anyone writing about both, it will be the touchstone of quality for some time.--Andrew Hewitt, University of Hull ""British Association for Victorian Studies"""
