John Buchan’s ‘Hesperides’: landscape rhetoric and the aesthetics of bodily experience on the South African Highveld,1901-1903

Abstract

The creation and use of landscapes... always emerges from biographical and place-specific historical and social contexts, at the same time that it contributes towards the uninterrupted becoming of biography and place.¹

The thing is correlative to my body and, in more general terms, to my existence, of which my body is merely the stabilized structure.²
