The manuscript of Hardy's first great novel, "Far From the Madding
Crowd," vanished shortly after its first publication. Rediscovered
in 1918 and sold into private hands, it was eventually bequeathed
to the Beinecke Rare Books Library at Yale University and studied
here in depth, for the first time, by Rosemarie Morgan. This lost
manuscript sheds remarkable new light not only on this novel but on
the whole of Hardy's work.
The manuscript pages, facsimiles of which are reproduced here,
reveal Hardy's original composition in the novel and the
reluctantly "cancelled words" which were the result of a long
struggle with Sir Leslie Stephen, Hardy's editor. The book was
originally commisioned as a rural piece, yet Hardy had other ideas,
and author and editor battled over the novel's development.
Professor Morgan reveals that Hardy's chief concerns--the
development of artistic balance, the role and position of women,
his critical view of class distinction--are all articulated much
more clearly in the first version than in the printed text. She
demonstrates that these pages, with words scored through, sentences
overwritten and paragraphs revised, show his progressive
development as a twentieth-century "modernist" in the last quarter
of the nineteenth century. He was 1"father" of the modern novel's
valorization of the "low-life" hero and heroine.
"Cancelled Words" reveals a manner in which Hardy worked: his
resistance to censorship, his scrupulous attention to detail and
precision, and the often concealed processes underlying his
authorship. Ultimately, it serves to shape our understanding of the
development of the modern novel.
In the mid- late 1800s and early 1900s, Thomas Hardy produced a
plethora of eclectic works that were considered too "candid" and
even sacrilegious for their time. Hardy's publishing of fiction,
drama, poetry, and the short story ranks him with Shakespeare, one
of few other authors in the English language to write major works
in more than one literary genre. Growing up, Hardy apprenticed as
an architect but soon realized his true calling was writing. He
based much of his work on his homeland and local culture in
England, creating the fictional county of "Wessex," the setting for
most of his works. This companion explores the life of Hardy,
examining his career and most important works. Ideal for high
school and undergraduate students, as well as readers with a
general interest in Hardy's life and works, this book takes a close
look at Hardy's "unconventional" works and why he ultimately
decided to abandon novel-writing in favor of his first love:
poetry. Included works that are analyzed are: BLFar From the
Madding Crowd BLThe Return of the Native BLTess of the
D'Urbervilles BLJude the Obscure BLThe Dynasts BLand his poetry
In The Ashgate Research Companion to Thomas Hardy, some of the most
prominent Hardy specialists working today offer an overview of
Hardy scholarship and suggest new directions in Hardy studies. The
contributors cover virtually every area relevant to Hardy's fiction
and poetry, including philosophy, palaeontology, biography,
science, film, popular culture, beliefs, gender, music,
masculinity, tragedy, topography, psychology, metaphysics,
illustration, bibliographical studies and contemporary response.
While several collections have surveyed the Hardy landscape, no
previous volume has been composed especially for scholars and
advanced graduate students. This companion is specially designed to
aid original research on Hardy and serve as the critical basis for
Hardy studies in the new millennium. Among the features are a
comprehensive bibliography that includes not only works in English
but, in acknowledgment of Hardy's explosion in popularity around
the world, also works in languages other than English.

The women in Thomas Hardy's novels appear to have no control over
their destiny. Rosemarie Morgan argues a contrary case, and
restores to them the physical, sexual reality denied them by the
male dominated world they inhabit.

Women represent the majority of people working to improve health
outcomes in communities, non-governmental and multilateral
organizations, both as paid and unpaid health and social care
workers. So why is it that when it comes to leadership positions,
we have a governance system that privileges men and what can we do
to redress the imbalance? This ground-breaking collection explores
the leadership roles that women hold in global health, teasing out
the routes women have taken to leadership, the challenges they have
faced, and what has facilitated their journey. It brings to the
fore the stories of women on the frontlines of this struggle from
around the world, highlighting and complementing these stories with
theoretical and analytical explorations of the structures and
systems that help or hinder the process. Among the topics explored:
Gendered Institutions in Global Health Gender, Peace, and Health:
Promoting Human Security with Women's Leadership Academic Journal
Publishing: A Pathway to Global Health Leadership Women in Health
Systems Leadership: Demystifying the Labyrinth Women's Leadership
in Global Health: Evolution Will Not Bring Equality The book is a
rallying call to arms to redress gender inequality and celebrate
the many ways in which women are taking the lead in supporting the
health of their communities internationally. Women and Global
Health Leadership is a must-read for those working in or studying
global health. It is also a primer that aims to support other women
in their efforts and struggles to succeed in a highly unfair and
unequal world. The book will engage ministers of health,
policy-makers, practitioners, academicians, students, researchers,
healthcare workers, health service managers, and members of
multilateral organizations. By highlighting key barriers and
facilitators to women in global health leadership, organizations
can use this book to help inform the development of institutional
policies and procedures to support women in leadership positions
across academic, health workforce, and global health governance
systems. It also can be used within postgraduate courses focusing
on the global heath workforce, leadership and management, and
women's studies.
