  • Thomas Hardy and His Funerals
    THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIFE WRITING VOLUME IX (2020) LW&D132–LW&D150 Till Death Did Him Part: Thomas Hardy and His Funerals Charles Lock University of Copenhagen [J.M. Barrie] was especially tickled by Hardy’s preoccupation with plans for his own burial—plans, continuously changed. ‘One day Hardy took me . to see the place where he’s to be buried, and the next day he took me to see the place where he would like next best to be buried. Usually he says he is to be buried between his wives; but sometimes, so many inches nearer the first; sometimes, so many inches nearer to the second.’ Cynthia Asquith, Portrait of Barrie (London: James Barrie, 1954), p. 107 The wrongness of two funerals and the wretchedness of Florence’s later years bring a sombre end to any account of Hardy. Claire Tomalin, Thomas Hardy: The Time-Torn Man (London: Penguin, 2006), p. 377 ABSTRACT This essay considers Hardy’s two funerals—for his ashes at Poets’ Corner, for his heart at Stinsford—in the light of their consequences for life-writing: the absence of a single resting-place, and the narrative demands of synchronicity in telling of two funerals. This division of the body was the consequence of an extraordinary lack of precision in Hardy’s own will, the composition, wording and interpretation of which are examined here in some detail. Attention is also paid to the single grave at Stinsford that holds the remains of Hardy and both his wives in diverse modalities of the invisible. Keywords: Thomas Hardy, wills and testaments, ashes, funerals, heart-burials European Journal of Life Writing, Vol IX, 132–150 2020.

  • Music Inspired by the Works of Thomas Hardy
    This article was first published in The Hardy Review , Volume XVI-i, Spring 2014, pp. 29-45, and is reproduced by kind permission of The Thomas Hardy Association, editor Rosemarie Morgan. Should you wish to purchase a copy of the paper please go to: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ttha/thr/2014/00000016/0 0000001/art00004 LITERATURE INTO MUSIC: MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE WORKS OF THOMAS HARDY Part Two: Music composed after Hardy’s lifetime CHARLES P. C. PETTIT Part One of this article was published in the Autumn 2013 issue. It covered music composed during Hardy’s lifetime. This second article covers music composed since Hardy’s death, coming right up to the present day. The focus is again on music by those composers who wrote operatic and orchestral works, and only mentions song settings of poems, and music in dramatisations for radio and other media, when they were written by featured composers. Hardy’s work is seen to have inspired a wide variety of music, from full-length operas and musicals, via short pieces featuring particular fictional episodes, to ballet music and purely orchestral responses. Hardy-inspired compositions show no sign of reducing in number over the decades. However despite the quantity of music produced and the quality of much of it, there is not the sense in this period that Hardy maintained the kind of universal appeal for composers that was evident during the last two decades of his life. Keywords : Thomas Hardy, Music, Opera, Far from the Madding Crowd , Tess of the d’Urbervilles , Alun Hoddinott, Benjamin Britten, Elizabeth Maconchy In my earlier article, published in the Autumn 2013 issue of the Hardy Review , I covered Hardy-inspired music composed during Hardy’s lifetime.

  • Thomas Hardy
    Published on Great Writers Inspire (http://writersinspire.org) Home > Thomas Hardy Thomas Hardy Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), novelist and poet, was born on 2 June 1840, in Higher Bockhampton, Dorset. The eldest child of Thomas Hardy and Jemima Hand, Hardy had three younger siblings: Mary, Henry, and Katharine. Hardy learned to read at a very young age, and developed a fascination with the services he regular attended at Stinsford church. He also grew to love the music that accompanied church ritual. His father had once been a member of the Stinsford church musicians - the group Hardy later memorialised in Under the Greenwood Tree - and taught him to play the violin, with the pair occasionally performing together at local dance parties. Whilst attending the church services, Hardy developed a fascination for a skull which formed part of the Grey family monument. He memorised the accompanying inscription (containing the name 'Angel', which he would later use in his novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles [1]) so intently that he was still able to recite it well into old age. [2] Thomas Hardy By Bain News Service [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Adulthood Between the years of 1856-1862, Hardy worked as a trainee architect. He formed an important friendship with Horace Moule. Moule - eight years Hardy's senior and a Cambridge graduate - became Hardy's intellectual mentor. Horace Moule appears to have suffered from depression, and he committed suicide in 1873. Several of Hardy's poems are dedicated to him, and it is thought some of the characters in Hardy's fiction were likely to have been modeled on Moule.

  • Downloaded from Pubfactory at 09/26/2021 08:05:38AM Via Free Access 296 Verleger Als Vermittler Von Lesekultur
    4 Verleger als Vermittler von Lesekultur Ausgangspunkt für den zweiten Teil der vorliegenden Studie sind die rekonstru- ierten Lesebiographien der Verleger. Wie Frank Swinnerton betonte, erforderte die Verlegertätigkeit ein gewisses Maß an literacy. Die Verleger der Fallstudien haben sich in ihren Autobiographien als kompetente Leser dargestellt, die über unterschiedliche Leseerfahrungen verfügten. Sie haben prägende Leseerlebnisse und Ansprüche präsentiert, die im Zusammenhang mit ihrer beruflichen Ent- wicklung standen. Im Folgenden wird der Entwicklung der Verleger Rechnung getragen und ihr Einfluss auf die Herausbildung eines distinkten Verlagspro- grammes resultierend aus der persönlichen Einstellung zu Buch und Lesen, auch unter Berücksichtigung der eigenen Autorentätigkeit, herausgearbeitet. 4.1 Die Chambers-Brüder: „Publishers for the People“ Zentrale Aspekte der Lesesozialisation von William und Robert Chambers lassen sich auch in ihrem beruflichen Werdegang nachvollziehen.Self-reliance und self- improvement sowie der gesellschaftlich begründete Anspruch, über Kultur und Bildung den Anschluss an die Mittelschicht halten zu können, fanden ebenso Ausdruck in ihrem Selbstverständnis wie ihr pragmatisches Nützlichkeitsprinzip und spiegelten sich in der eigenen Autorentätigkeit und im Verlagsprofil wider. Auch wenn die Brüder in einer gemeinsamen Fallstudie betrachtet werden, so ist es dennoch sinnvoll, die Berufswahl von William und Robert Chambers zunächst getrennt darzustellen. 4.1.1 Die Berufsfindung der Chambers-Brüder 4.1.1.1 William Chambers: „What would I be?“ Die berufliche Entwicklung der Brüder war eng mit der wirtschaftlichen Situa- tion der Familie verknüpft. Mit dem Verlust der Weberei 1812, den wechselnden Anstellungen des Vaters und schließlich dessen Arbeitsunfähigkeit 1816 wurde es notwendig den ältesten Sohn William in eine Ausbildung zu schicken, die ihm ein finanzielles Auskommen bot und auch zum Familieneinkommen beitrug.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Cary: A Calendar of Thomas Hardy Correspondence 280 Colby Library Quarterly A CALENDAR OF THOMAS HARDY CORRESPONDENCE By RICHARD CARY HE HARDY COLLECTION of books, manuscripts, letters, and T memorabilia in Colby College Library has been the cyno­ sure of scholars, American and international, since the early thirties. Offshoot of Carl J. Weber's interest in the frosty determinist, the Collection has continued to grow over the dec­ ades and to attract a substantial flow of queries from biograph­ ers, bibliographers, bibliophiles, harried assistant professors with unfinished essays, and imminent doctors of philosophy. Most frequently they have importuned a "complete list" of one or another category of these materials, or, more ambitiously, of the entire Collection. In the first years Weber attempted to satisfy the demand by turning out some helpful inventories. However, the dilation of items, accelerating geometrically, made it virtually impossible to keep any listing current. The problem still exists, if anything, in exacerbated form. Inquiries have been nlet on an individual basis, with pleas for greater specificity in the expansive cases. Persistently, the largest volume of questions received has been in the area of Thomas Hardy's correspondence.
