(”Each of these novelists may be said to possess a spiritual sovereignty which no one else can dispute. They have made the country theirs because they have so interpreted it as to have given it an ineffaceable shape in our minds [...] Novelists who are thus sensitive to the inspiration of the land are alone able to describe the natives who are in some sense the creatures of the land.” Virginia Woolf. The Essays of Virginia Woolf. p. 32 )
