This timely book treats Hardy's recurring use of one of the major
informing myths of Western culture--that of a collision between a
solar god and an earth goddess. Stave uses a chronological
examination of Hardy's Wessex novels to highlight the author's
evolving consciousness of the connections among patriarchy,
Christianity, sexism, and classism. From the gentle affirmation of
Far From the Madding Crowd to the grim Jude the Obscure, Stave
paints a world in which the goddess figures die out, displaced by
messianic gods, and a Pagan worldview gives way to a world devoid
of spiritual meaning.
