At the center of Hardy's aesthetic practice is the recognition of
desire as a necessary and fundamental condition of human existence.
Yearning, disappointment, frustration and loss determine the
relationship of his characters and poetic personae to the world and
the systems in which their sense of self is expressed and
constituted. Yet his work also explores the positive, dynamic and
productive dimension of desire. Structured around the themes of
home and homelessness; eroticism; Poor Men, Ladies and social
aspiration; the transgressivity of cross dressing; the creation of
"sapphic spaces;" aesthetic desire and its fulfilment in the
achieved work of art, Thomas Hardy and Desire demonstrates Hardy's
commitment, as an artist in pursuit of "a way to the better," to
exploring how the energy of desire pushes beyond the boundaries of
class, sexuality, gender and even language itself to bring new ways
of being and doing into the realm of knowledge.
