Thomas Hardy and Animals examines the human and nonhuman animals
who walk and crawl and fly across and around the pages of Hardy's
novels. Animals abound in his writings, yet little scholarly
attention has been paid to them so far. This book fills this gap in
Hardy studies, bringing an important author within range of a new
and developing area of critical inquiry. It considers the way
Hardy's representations of animals challenged ideas of human-animal
boundaries debated by the Victorian scientific and philosophical
communities. In moments of encounter between humans and animals,
Hardy questions boundaries based on ideas of moral sense or moral
agency, language and reason, the possession of a face, and the
capacity to suffer and perceive pain. Through an emphasis on
embodied encounters, his writings call for an extension of empathy
to others, human or nonhuman. In this accessible book Anna West
offers a new approach to Hardy criticism.
