This book explores the relationship between Thomas Hardy's works
and Victorian media and technologies of communication - especially
the penny post and the telegraph. Through its close analysis of
letters, telegrams, and hand-delivered notes in Hardy's novels,
short stories, and poems, it ties together a wide range of
subjects: technological and infrastructural developments; material
culture; individual subjectivity and the construction of identity;
the relationship between private experience and social conventions;
and the new narrative possibilities suggested by modern modes of
communication.
