'Always Sea and Sea': The Night Land as Sea-scape (2013)
Journal Article
Alder, E. (2013). 'Always Sea and Sea': The Night Land as Sea-scape. Sargasso: The Journal of William Hope Hodgson Studies, 1(1), 89-101

Biographical accounts of William Hope Hodgson naturally tend to focus on two main features of his career before he became a full-time writer: sailing and physical culture (Everts). Both provide useful contexts for reading Hodgson’s fiction. In some e... Read More about 'Always Sea and Sea': The Night Land as Sea-scape.

Luminescent solar concentrators: From experimental validation of 3D ray-tracing simulations to coloured stained-glass windows for BIPV (2013)
Journal Article
