With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of
English, University of Sussex. A Pair of Blue Eyes, though early in
the sequence of Hardy's novels, is lively and gripping. Its
dramatic cliff-hanging episode, for example, is at once tense,
ironic, feministic and erotic. With settings in Wessex and London,
the novel also has some strongly autobiographical features, as the
blue-eyed heroine, Elfride Swancourt, is based largely on Emma
Gifford, who became Thomas Hardy's first wife. Elfride's vivacious
nature attracts several lovers, but she is beset by sexual
prejudice, and the ensuing ironies reveal the constraints of her
times. A Pair of Blue Eyes provides an engaging and moving
experience for today's readers.
