Summary/Abstract |
Peter Widdowson's new work identifies the elements Hardy's work, the focus on umstable class and sexual relations in a society undergoing rapid change, the highly-charged and contradictory representations of women at the heart of this dangerously 'metamorphic' social process; the self-reflexive artifice of the writing itself as an aspect of Hardy's satiric worldview and his ironic humanism in the 'new Dark Age' of the modern world.
