Hardy Deconstructing Hardy
Author: Nilüfer Özgür
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351248618
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Hardy Deconstructing Hardy aims to add a new dimension of research which has been partly overlooked—a Derridean, Deconstructive reading of Hardy‘s poetry. Analyzing thirty-four popular and less popular poems by Hardy, this volume challenges current references to Derridean Deconstructionism. While Hardy is not conventionally considered a Modernist poet, he shares with Modernists an element that can be referred to as the linguistic crisis by which they try to get over the sense of anxiety against the backdrop of a chaotic world and problematized language. The forerunner of Deconstructionism, Derrida, exposes a long established history of logocentric thinking, which has continually been moving between binary oppositions and Platonic dualities. Derrida simply puts forward the idea that there is no logos, no origin, and no centre of truth. The centre is always somewhere else; he identifies this as a ―free play of signifiers.‖ Consequently, the anxiety of the poet with modern sensibility to find a point of reference inevitably results in a ―crisis of representation,‖ or, in a problematic relation between language and truth, the signifier and the signified. This crisis can be observed in Hardy‘s poetry, too. For this purpose, this research focuses on four key concepts in Hardy‘s poetry that expose this problematic relationship between language and truth: his agnosticism, his concept of the self, his language and concept of structure, and his concept of time and temporality. These aspects are explored in the light of Derrida‘s Deconstructionism with reference to poems by Hardy which heralded the Modernist crisis of representation. This text will fulfill the function of reconciling theory with practice and become the manifestation of the importance of Poststructuralist criticism.

Thomas Hardy and Eco-criticism. From Romantic Literature to Climate Change Fiction
Author: Elena Karl
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3963555955
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 19
Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Bamberg, course: Anglistik at Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg, language: English, abstract: The industrialization of the 18th and 19th centuries reshaped both the physical landscape and societal structures, leading to the decline of rural life and a growing disconnection from nature. Thomas Hardy, renowned for his affection for the countryside and commitment to preserving traditions, captured this shift in his literary works. This paper examines Hardy's portrayal of nature through the lens of eco-criticism, a framework exploring environmental themes in literature. Hardy's novels, such as "Far from the Madding Crowd" and "Tess of the D’Urbervilles," depict the tension between rural and urban life, highlighting the impact of ecological factors on human existence. Through analysis of Hardy's narrative techniques, including anthropomorphism and personification, his ecological consciousness can be uncovered. Understanding the interplay between humanity and nature in Hardy's works sheds light on his enduring relevance as a literary figure and advocate for environmental conservation.

Author: Thomas Hardy
Publisher: Standard Ebooks
ISBN:
Category : Fiction

Book Description
Young Elfride falls in love for the first time with an architect who is sent to make plans to renovate the local church. She supposes Stephen to be a professional man from London, but finds he comes from more humble origins. Stephen must go away and make something of himself before he can claim her. Circumstances change in his absence, and Elfride must decide if she will keep her pledge to marry Stephen. A Pair of Blue Eyes is Thomas Hardy’s third novel, and the first one to bear his real name when it was first published.
