Ambivalence in Thomas Hardy: A Literary Exploration of Gender Attitudes by Shanta Dutta (Paperback)

Description

This book explores Hardy’s ambivalent attitude to women both in his fiction and in his interactions with his wives, literary protégées and contemporary female authors. It combines a feminist approach with close textual analysis, supplemented by biographical insights gleaned from the published letters of Thomas Hardy and his two wives, his ‘literary notebooks’, his disguised autobiography, marginalia and other manuscript materials.
