Description
Deadham Hard: A Romance by Lucas Malet is a playfully philosophical tale about the life of Thomas Clarkson Verity. The novel is full of allusions to various philosophers and thinkers and takes the reader on a joyride through history. Excerpt: "A peculiar magic resides in running water, as every student of earth-lore knows. There is high magic, too, in the marriage of rivers, so that the spot where two mingle their streams is sacred, endowed with strange properties of evocation and of purification. Such spots go to the making of history and ruling of individual lives; but whether their influence is not more often malign than beneficent may be, perhaps, open to doubt."
