Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Thomas Hardy It is held, upon all hands, that to write about the works of a living writer is a difficult and a delicate thing: I have felt the inevitable difficulty; I have tried to preserve the becoming delicacy. Throughout these essays upon the works of Mr. Hardy, there will be found, I trust, no discourtesy in my censure: I trust still more, no impertinence in my praise. Dr. Johnson assigned two meanings to the word Critick; in the first place, it means 'A man skilled in the business of judging of literature; a man able to distinguish the faults and beauties of writing': in the second place, it means 'A snarler; a carper; a caviller.' This evil kind of critic is prettily described by Drayton: 'This Critick so sterne, But whom, none must discerne, Nor perfectly have seeing, Strangely layes about him, As nothing without him Were worthy of being.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technique of Thomas Hardy In the case of Hardy, the reader must often wonder whether he was a deliberate structural artist, whether the occasional greatness of his work was not rather the result of a technique which came to him, as we say, by inspira tion, and whether indeed the unfailing charm of his work, in whatever degree of greatness, is not something inde pendent oi questions of technique. Technique is but one of several factors determining the appeal of any writer; and Hardy with his frequent obliviousness to art is a greater novelist than James with his unceasing vigi lance. Moreover, questions oi technique are so inti mately bound up with questions of philosophy and subject-matter that they cannot be considered altogether in isolation. But structural art is a more important matter than it has been generally considered; the work of Hardy, like that of Meredith, suffered decidedly from the typical Victorian indifference to it. And the moral of our present study will be derived in large part from technical considerations; we shall be mainly concerned with whatever principles of composition, consciously held or followed instinctively, we can find in Hardy's novels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliography of the Works of Thomas Hardy, 1865-1915 Mr. Thomas Hardy has placed me under an obligation by his permission to reproduce in facsimile MSS. of two of his poems, and a portrait by Mr. E. O. Hoppe, hitherto unpublished, which appears as frontispiece. Also very kindly he has allowed me to distinguish my compilation by dedicating it to him, though he assumes no responsibility for either its necessity or its accuracy. It would be superfluous were I to attempt any estimate of Mr. Hardy's work. I cannot do better than refer the student to Mr. Lascelles Abercrombie's study: Thomas Hardy A Critical Study, by Lascelles Abercrombie (Martin Seeker, 1912), and to those many essays referred to in the last section of this book. I have to express my thanks to Mr. Clement Shorter, to whom I am indebted for a generous gift of two of his six privately printed Hardy nug, for invaluable assistance in tracing obscure contributions which appeared in periodicals, some of which are now defunct.

Thus the pictures which he has given in his books have been freely quoted here. Of the unquoted remainder, the writer can only say to those readers who are unacquainted with the novels, if any such he may chance to have, Pu/cbm gaze videntur, longe pulcherrima guae ignorantur.

To whom Shakespeare dedicated his sonnets; it does matter tremendously that we have Hamlet and Lear. The Odyssey matters, but not Homer's birth place. And it does not matter if we shall never know just what Hardy thinks of Shaw or Wells, so long as we have The Dynasts. Hardy himself has realized this, and has let it go at that. The cleavage I am indicating here is too frequently forgotten. Its recognition Often distinguishes an artist of genius like Hardy from one of talent like George Moore; it more Often distinguishes a just critic from an unjust or impertinent one.

This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Hardy's Universe: A Study of a Poet's Mind Without criticizing Hardy's philosophy as one would criticize, say, Spinoza's, conceiving it as a system really warranted to lift the burthen of the mystery, dissecting it, and examining each detail with the bright and merciless instruments of a rigid induction and deduction, one may without great qualms yield to the temptation of observing, broadly, how the tentative and unadjusted scheme of the greatest living English poet fits in with those of such thinkers, also vocal to tragedy, who have chosen to eschew imaginative writing and to expose their attitudes more strictly in accordance with the laws of logic. If, i'ndeed, one may attempt to come to grips with the intellectual content of Hardy (and surely one may l - a more exhilarating mental sport can scarcely be imagined), it is as impossible to succeed in such an attempt without indicating parallelisms from philosophers as it is to discuss his art without pointing out literary parallels. In particular, it is quite impossible, from the first, to ignore Schopen hauer, - and before one has proceeded very far, Schopenhauer is found to have usurped practically the whole discussion.

Download or read book A Thomas Hardy Dictionary written by F. Outwin Saxelby and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thomas Hardy Dictionary: The Characters and Scenes of the Novels and Poems Alphabetically Arranged and Described In a work of this description accuracy and brevity seem the two great desiderata and I have done my best to attain both. Both in the descriptions of the characters and in the synopses I have tried to give an adequate account without going into minute details such as might detract from the pleasure of reading the book itself. My aim has been to provide a refresher of the memory, not an analysis. The notes of chapters affixed to the entries indicate both appearances and references; the latter are frequently of great importance in making clear the relations of a character to the plot. The identifications of the various localities are based on those of previous students whose works will be found listed in the Bibliography. Where an identification seemed doubtful I have preferred to omit it. Full accounts of the various places noticed will be found in the list of Wessex books given. I have carefully abstained from trenching on the province of the guide-book. The Bibliography does not pretend to absolute completeness, but it will be found fairly full and quite accurate. The publishers have been generous in the matter of maps, and very considerable trouble has been spent in the compilation of the one which I have called The Heart of Wessex. So far as I know, nothing so full has yet been offered to the student of Hardy, and it cannot fail to be both useful and interesting to readers. It is a real map in every respect and can be used as such by the pilgrim to Wessex. Criticism is, of course, entirely outside the scope of the work and an3rthing of that nature has been carefully avoided. It is to be clearly understood that Mr. Hardy has not authorized this book, and can accept no responsibility for its production.
