Thomas Hardy

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Tragedy? More Like Melodrama!
When it comes to "classics" of Victorian literature, this is certainly much more readable than most, and while it presents some memorable characters, and plenty of themes worthy of high-school English essays, it's hard to take it very seriously in many ways. Like many novels of the era, Hardy's was first published in a serial format in an illustrated magazine (The Graphic), and then collected as ...

Chosen Poems of Thomas Hardy

Casterbridge Books, 2004

A seemingly reflective work of quaint and nostalgic poetry.
Chosen Poems, compliled by Hardy himself later in life is an essential look at Hardy the poet. While Hardy the novelist spun tales of romance and intrigue, his poetry suggests a more reflective tone. The sentimental nature of most of his poems thrusts the reader into a mind coursing madly about lost loves, and the ancestrial rememberances of better times. The metaphors are thick and the ...

There are reasons Hardy's works have stood the test of time
Somehow I graduated college with a B.A. in English without ever having read Thomas Hardy. Thanks to my library's audio book collection, and my long drive to work, I've been working on remedying this situation first with Tess of the Durbervilles and most recently with The Mayor of Casterbridge. Hardy's novels are tinged with darkness. His characters endure rough lives. So, though at times they ...
