• 9 again deep time and history in the landscape obscured by agriculture partly - also narratorial distance, the reflection on deep time is for the narrator "but this neither Jude nor the rooms around him considered"

Theme tracking

Reading/Writing

• 23ff the Greek and Latin grammars Jude so desperately wants

Materiality

• 6 the overlapping of historical periods and faiths in the material appearance of the churchyard - it's inclusion in the scene with young Jude and Phillotson reminiscent of the scene situating the aunt and uncle's parlor in deep history in Mill on the Floss
