    Poems by Thomas Hardy Questions by Dr

    Poems by Thomas Hardy Questions by Dr. Boos “Channel Firing” 1. Why does Hardy set this poem in a churchyard? What is the point of using such expressions as “the glebe cow” and “Christes sake”? 2. From whose point of view is the poem told? What is the effect of making “God” a character in the poem? 3. What is the effect of the stanza form and rhythm? 4. What do you make of God’s use of colloquial expression? 5. What dead human being receives the last word, and why is he chosen? 6. Are there droll or humorous aspects to the poem? Even if so, is the poem ultimately lighthearted? 7. What is the meaning of the poem? What is added by the final allusions to “Stourton Tower, / And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge”? “The Oxen” 1. To what legend does the poem refer? Why do you think Hardy chose the legend of the kneeling oxen to represent Chrismas rather than, say, legends of angels or Santa Claus? 2. What are features of the poem’s stanza form, rhythms, and rhymes? Are they appropriate for the topic? Is the poem too short? 3. How is dialogue and direct address used in the poem? What effect do these have? 4. What characterizes Hardy’s word choice? Would his audience have used words such as “barton” and “coomb”? 5. What does Hardy think of the truth of this legend? Why does he say that “I feel” I would go with a messenger reporting this event? 6. What are some implications of the finallLine? Are there beliefs beyond the legend of kneeling oxen in which the poet can have no faith? Or is the final line indeterminate? 7.

Jones: Tess of the d'Urbervilles and the "New Edition" of Desperate Reme Tess of the d'Urbervilles and the "New Edition" of Desperate Remedies by LAWRENCE JONES N THE autumn of 1884, Thomas Hardy was approached by the re­ I cently established publishing firm of Ward and Downey concerning the republication of his first novel, Desperate Remedies. Although it had been published in America by Henry Holt in his Leisure Hour series in 1874, the novel had not appeared in England since the first, anony­ mous publication by Tinsley Brothers in 1871. That first edition, in three volumes, had consisted of a printing of 500 (only 280 of which had been sold at list price). 1 Since that time Hardy had published eight more novels and had established himself to the extent that Charles Kegan Paul could refer to him in the British Quarterly Review in 1881 as the true "successor of George Eliot," 2 and Havelock Ellis could open a survey article in the Westminster Review in 1883 with the remark that "The high position which the author of Far from the Madding Crowd holds among contemporary English novelists is now generally recognized." 3 As his reputation grew, his earlier novels were republished in England in one-volume editions: Far from the Madding Crowd, A Pair of Blue Eyes, and The Hand ofEthelberta in 1877, Under the Greenwood Tree in 1878, The Return of the Native in 1880, A Laodicean in 1882, and Two on a Tower in 1883.

    Thomas Hardy Poems

    1 Thomas Hardy Poems Thomas Hardy (1840 1928) was an English novelist and poet. After a successful writing career that included such novels as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Return of the Native (1878), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), and Tess of the D’Urbervilles (1891), his last novel, Jude the Obscure (1895) was roundly condemned by the church as immoral. After that, Hardy concentrated on writing poetry. In 1898 he published Wessex Poems; he continued to publish poetry throughout the rest of his life. “The Man He Killed” (1909) Had he and I but met By some old ancient inn, We should have set us down to wet Right many a nipperkin! But ranged as infantry, 5 And staring face to face, I shot at him as he at me, And killed him in his place. I shot him dead because— Because he was my foe, 10 Just so: my foe of course he was; That's clear enough; although He thought he'd 'list, perhaps, Off-hand like—just as I— Was out of work—had sold his traps— 15 No other reason why. Yes; quaint and curious war is! You shoot a fellow down You'd treat, if met where any bar is, Or help to half a crown. 20 Neutral Tones (1898) We stood by a pond that winter day, And the sun was white, as though chidden of God, And a few leaves lay on the starving sod; —They had fallen from an ash, and were gray. Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove 5 2 Over tedious riddles solved years ago; And some words played between us to and fro On which lost the more by our love.

    The Decay of Romanticism in the Poetry of Thomas Hardy

    tI| THE DECAY OF ROMANTICISM IN THE POETRY OF THOMAS HARDY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS, By Carolynn L. Wartes, B. S. Denton, Texas December 1978 Wartes, Carolynn, The Deea _of Romanticism in the Poe of Thomas Har4d. Master of Arts (English), December 1978, 121 pp., bibliography, 29 titles. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the concept of a godless universe governed by a consciousless and conscienceless Immanent Will in Hardy's poetry is an ineluctable outcome, given the expanded scientific knowledge of the nineteenth century, of the pantheistic views of the English Romantic poets. The purpose is accomplished by tracing characteristically Romantic attitudes through the representative poetry of the early Victorian period and in Hardy's poetry. The first chapter is a brief introduction. Chapter II surveys major Romantic themes, illustrating them in Words- worth's poetry. Chapter III treats the decline of the Romantic vision in the poetry of Tennyson and Arnold. Hardy's views and the Victorian poets' influence are the subject of Chapter IV. Chapter V demonstrates Wordsworth's influence on Hardy in several areas. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I. INTRODUCTIONC..1.......... II. ROMANTICISM AND WORDSWORTH . 6 III.

With the castle in need of restoration, Paula employs architect George Somerset, who soon falls in love with her.

    Thomas Hardy s Epic-Drama: A STUDY OF THE DYNASTS by Harold Orel UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PUBLICATIONS HUMANISTIC STUDIES, NO. 36 LAWRENCE, KANSAS UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ^PUBLICATIONS HUMANISTIC STUDIES^ NO. 36 THOMAS HARDY'S EPIC-DRAMA: A STUDY OF THE DYNASTS THOMAS HARDY'S EPIC-DRAMA: A STUDY OF THE DYNASTS by Harold Orel UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PUBLICATIONS LAWRENCE, 1963 © COPYRIGHT 1963 BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS L. C. C. C Number 63-63211 PRINTED IN THE U.S.A. BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS LAWRENCE, KANSAS TO M. D. W. Preface THIS BOOK was written because of my admiration for Thomas Hardy's The Dynasts, and because of my feeling that the last word has not yet been said about it. What I want to do is reemphasize the meaning behind Hardy's descriptive epithet, "epic-drama," To that end, I have retraced Hardy's career up to the moment he renounced the writing of novels and became a full-time poet. Poetry, for Hardy, was always the highest form of art; it was the kind of literature he wanted most to create. For years he had been contemplating a large work, a poem on the epic scale, which he needed time to write. It may be no exaggeration to say that his entire life led up to The Dynasts, and that for him it represented the supreme artistic work of his career. Since The Dynasts has often been considered primarily in terms of its philosophy, although Hardy declared vehemently on several occasions that his poem should be judged on artistic grounds, it has seemed worthwhile to reexamine the views that Hardy held on the nature of the universe and whatever gods exist.
