Description for Hardy's Lyrics: Pearls of Pity
Hardcover. Examining his images of physical setting to dramatize contemporary affirmations of being human in a cold, amoral universe, this text argues that Hardy is unjustifiably regarded as a poet of pessimism. It offers thematic and aesthetic guidelines for approaching many of Hardy's poems. Num Pages: 243 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 2AB; DSBF; DSC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 203 x 127 x 24. Weight in Grams: 440.
Thomas Hardy frequently insisted that his poems were not self-expressive, but dramatic or 'impersonative'. Yet biographical expositions have dulled their impersonality. Brian Green's approach is more exacting and rewarding; taking Hardy at his word, he traces Hardy's 'master theme' throughout the corpus of poems - a governing concern which merges Victorian and perennial ideas throughout the whole of Hardy's writings.
