Beskrivning

In this volume, critics from Canada, Japan, the USA and the UK, offer fresh readings of Hardy's works. They also raise far wider and far reaching questions about Hardy's attitude to his art, his relation to such contemporary forms as melodrama, and his response to the ongoing scientific debates, from Darwin to Einstein, about sexuality, personal identity, the meaning of suicide and the nature of time.
