Description
Thomas Hardy: A Study of the Contemporary Writer Widely popular throughout the world, Thomas Hardy's work continues to speak to readers today. This new edition of Peter Widdowson's study explores the elements that enable Hardy to be read in this way, including his focus on unstable class and sexual relations in a rapidly changing society, the complex representations of women at its heart, and the self-reflexive artifice of his writing. Drawing on contemporary approaches to literary study, Widdowson shows how Hardy's work challenges our assumptions about art and life. This comprehensive guide offers a fresh perspective on reading Hardy anew, making it an ideal choice for those looking to explore his fiction in new ways. The book also includes an updated select bibliography and a postscript on film and TV adaptations of Hardy's work. For readers interested in understanding the enduring relevance of Thomas Hardy's writing, this study provides a clear and engaging introduction to his life and work.
