This study of Thomas Hardy provides a substantial introduction to
his six major novels and his poems. It deals more briefly with the
minor fiction. Hardy now seems a more important novelist and poet
than at any previous time. This importance is only partly due to
his capabilities as a social historian or provincial chronicler.
Far more important than these is his faithful exploration of the
daily trials and tragedies of men and women as feeling beings. Man
and woman in love, man and woman up against it, are his theme.
Butler's study of his work emphasises this central aspect of
Hardy's fiction and poetry. His tendency to universalize his tragic
material, in which he is akin to Shakespeare, is seen as his
abiding achievement. Detailed analyses are made of some crucial
passages in the major novels and a serious attempt is made to
counter the proposition that Hardy wrote badly .
