These essays are arranged progressively to indicate Hardy's
development as a writer and thinker, and to present the major
aspects of his work as a whole, linking the poetry and the prose at
all appropriate stages. They suggest that his formative thought,
the product of a period of conflict between new scientific
philosophy and humanism on the one hand, and traditional Christian
theology combined with Victorian restraints on the other, developed
when England was not as intellectually provincial as Matthew Arnold
had affirmed. Above all, they illustrate the extent to which the
creative imagination and the style of Hardy the writer were
stimulated and strengthened by literary influences.
