Abstract

The article "TOPOGRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL TIME IN THOMAS HARDY’S FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD" by Lucien Darjeun Meadows explores how Thomas Hardy's novel uses topographical elements to depict horizontal and vertical time. Hardy's narrative moves characters between linear horizontal time and nonlinear vertical time through specific locations like Norcombe Hill and the great barn. The article delves into the concept of the chronotope in literature, emphasizing the interconnection of time and space in Hardy's work. Meadows argues that Hardy's manipulation of time and space in the novel challenges traditional notions of progress and linear time, highlighting the importance of local attachments and continuity in preserving cultural heritage.
