Hardy: A Collection of Critical Essays
by Albert J. Guérard, Albert Guerard (Editor)

Description
In an era of often uncritical optimism, Hardy looked upon mankind with dark brooding wisdom. He dared to speak of sexual conflict of man's self-destructiveness, of grotesque mischance. Today his skepticism, his narrative inventiveness, and hostility to realism, and his psychological insight make him a congenial, even contemporary voice.Tags

856 Hardy: A Collection of Critical Essays, edited by Albert J. Guerard (read 29 May 1966) Read when I was 'doing' the major Hardy novels. I do not remember much about the book since I did no post-reading note.
