Download or read book Ambivalence in Hardy written by S. Dutta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-examines the critical debate regarding Hardy's attitude to women: apologist or misogynist? With the help of manuscript evidence and references to Hardy's autobiography, letters, literary notebooks, marginalia, and the letters of his wives, this book combines a biographical approach with a feminist reading. Significant space is devoted to the 'minor' novels, the short stories, and to Hardy's real life literary relations with his contemporary women writers, his protégées and his two 'scribbling' wives, to balance the hitherto exclusive focus on the 'major' novels.
Book Synopsis Ambivalence in Hardy by : Shanta Dutta
Download or read book Ambivalence in Hardy written by Shanta Dutta and published by Anthem Nineteenth-Century. This book was released on 2010 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Thomas Hardy a misogynist or a subscriber to the feminist cause? Ambivalence in Hardy' explores Hardy's complex and deeply ambivalent attitude to women, both in his fiction and in his life. While his sympathy for wronged and exploited women is forcefully expressed, his writings also reveal his fears, uncertainties, reservations and tensions - the natural inheritance of patriarchal ideology and a predominantly male literary tradition. The author analyses one 'minor' and one 'major' text from each of the three decades of Hardy's career as a prose fiction writer. The 1870s are represented by The Hand of Ethelberta' and The Return of the Native', the 1880s by Two on a Tower' and The Woodlanders', and the 1890s by Hardy's short stories and Jude the Obscure'. Generous references to Hardy's letters, disguised autobiography, literary notebooks, marginalia and the letters of his two wives seek to blend a biographical approach with a feminist reading. Parallelisms between Hardy's fiction and that of contemporary feminist writers are explored, suggesting mutual literary influence. His relations with women writers - particularly his prot g es and 'scribbling' wives - are discussed in unprecedented detail. Ambivalence in Hardy' significantly contributes to and challenges the field of Hardy studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

They encourage their innocent daughter Tess to cement a connection with the d'Urberville family, including their unprincipled son Alec, with tragic consequences.

Book Synopsis Thomas Hardy's Short Stories by : Juliette Berning Schaefer
Download or read book Thomas Hardy's Short Stories written by Juliette Berning Schaefer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Hardy penned nearly fifty short stories, but in spite of this impressive number, his contributions to the genre have been relatively understudied. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this is the first edited collection devoted solely to Hardy's works of short fiction. The contributors take up topics related to their publication in periodicals, gender and community relationships, and narrative techniques. Taken together, the essays show that Hardy's short stories are important, not only for what they tell us about Hardy as a writer who straddles the divide between the traditionalist and the modernist, but also for how they reflect and inform the period in which he wrote.

Book Synopsis Hardy's Early Poetry by : James Persoon
Download or read book Hardy's Early Poetry written by James Persoon and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not many authors are allowed the privilege of being retrospectively considered both masterful novelists and poets. Despite the fact that Thomas Hardy saw himself as a poet first, only recently have his poems been accepted as equal to his celebrated novels. Persoon explores how Hardy's poetic vision, seemingly cemented in his twenties, existed in constant tension between Darwin and Wordsworth, betweem a scientific outlook and the poetic temperament. Perceiving Hardy's metaphorical double vision--physically represented by his own eyes, one of which was smaller than the other--we see how this bouncing between realism and romanticism informed not only Hardy's poems but also his view of language, art, architecture, religion and even humor. Hardy's Early Poetry deserves attention by anyone who is interested in understanding the full richness and complexity of Hardy's work.
Book Synopsis Thomas Hardy’s Elegiac Prose and Poetry by : Galia Benziman
Download or read book Thomas Hardy’s Elegiac Prose and Poetry written by Galia Benziman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the transition from traditional to modern elegy through a close study of Thomas Hardy’s oeuvre and its commitment to mourning and remembrance. Hardy is usually read as an avowed elegist who writes against the collective forgetfulness typical of the late-Victorian era. But Hardy, as argued here, is dialectically implicated in the very cultural and psychological amnesia that he resists, as her book demonstrates by expanding the corpus of study beyond the spousal elegies (the “Poems of 1912-1913”) to include a wide variety of poems, novels and short stories that deal with bereavement and mourning. Locating the modern aspect of Hardy’s elegiac writing in this ambivalence and in the subversion of memory as unreliable, the book explores the textual moments at which Hardy challenges binary dichotomies such as forgetting vs. remembering, narcissism vs. unselfish commitment, grief vs. betrayal, the work of mourning vs. melancholia, presence vs. absence. The book's analysis allows us to relate Hardy’s elegiac poetics, and particularly his description of the mourner as a writer, to shifting late-Victorian conceptualizations of death, memory, art, science and gender relations.
