Thomas Hardy's Short Stories New Perspectives The Nineteenth Century Series

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Berning Schaefer Juliette, Craft Brownson Siobhan

Couverture de l’ouvrage Thomas Hardy's Short Stories
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.
