A BOY IN LANDSCAPEHOOD: FAR AWAY AND LONG AGO BY WILLIAM HENRY HUDSON

Abstract

This paper explores the construction of childhood memory in Far Away and Long Ago by William Henry Hudson. We consider memory an evocation, rather than of a lost temporality, of a lost space and landscape, namely the Pampas in mid-19th Century.

We study the strategies of construction of what Susan Stewart calls "nostalgia as a social disease", as well as the concept of memory that organizes this autobiography of childhood.
