In observing the centrality and difficultly of this poetic discourse of place, the problem of place is found at the very heart of the Fall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Mattison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415803012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415803014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Andrew Mattison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483490038015,"sku":"9780415803014","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1aeb3c57-bb4a-4636-9410-c8dd7c712c56.jpg?v=1778038967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/miltons-uncertain-eden-andrew-mattison-9780415803014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
