This major new reading of the novels of Thomas Hardy, by leading
critic George Levine, disentangles the author's often elaborately
distanced prose from his beautiful poetic and precise renderings of
the natural world. Clear, direct and minimally academic in his own
writing, Levine provides an overview of Hardy's entire fictional
canon, with extensive discussions of his early and late novels
including his last, The Well-Beloved. Levine draws new attention to
the way Hardy absorbed both the ideas and the writing strategies of
Charles Darwin, and develops new perspectives first articulated in
the criticism of great novelists - in particular Virginia Woolf and
D. H. Lawrence. Levine departs from the critical norm by reading
Hardy in the context of his deep feeling for the natural world and
all living things, and the implicit affirmation of life that
sometimes drives his bleakest narratives.
