This study examines Hardy's prolonged struggle with his
contemporary readers, whose bourgeois values he despised. Initially
content to compromise, to provide them with congenial
entertainment, Hardy resorted at first to strategies of subversion,
smuggling material past his editors and finally to outspoken
attack. Professor T. R. Wright attempts to balance historical
research into the response of 'actual' readers and the material
conditions of publishing with literary-critical analysis of the
'implied' reader inscribed in the novels themselves.
