  • Music Inspired by the Works of Thomas Hardy

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.

    “HARDY’S SETTINGS ALWAYS INTRIGUED ME” A Bibliography of the Richard Johnson Collection of Hardyana “Hardy’s Se�ings Always Intrigued Me” “HARDY’S SETTINGS ALWAYS INTRIGUED ME” A Bibliography of the Richard Johnson Collection of Hardyana Prepared by Lyle Ford and Jan Horner University of Manitoba Libraries 2007 The University of Manitoba Libraries Thomas Hardy Collection: An Introduction _______________________ The start of what was to become an ongoing fascination with the writings of Thomas Hardy came for me in 1949-50 when I was in Grade XII at Gordon Bell High School in Winnipeg. At that time, the English requirement was a double course that represented a third of the year’s curriculum. The required reading novel in the Prose half of the course was The Return of the Native. The poetry selections in the Poetry and Drama half were heavily weighted with Wordsworth but included five or six of Hardy’s poems to represent in part, I suppose, “modern” poetry. I was fortunate to have Gordon (“Pop”) Snider as my English teacher for Grades X through XII at Gordon Bell (the original school at Wolseley and Maryland). Up to that point English classes had involved an interminable run of texts in the “Vitalized English” series that entailed studies of word usage, required 7 readings, and the repetitive study of parts of speech that le� me cold. Snider introduced us to figures of speech in a systematic way in Grade X and from there made literature come alive for me. At the same time, I was completing five years of Latin with W.

  • DARWINIAN MARRIAGE EXPERIMENTS HARDY's the WOODLANDERS, a LAODICEAN, and a PAIR of BLUE EYES a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty
    DARWINIAN MARRIAGE EXPERIMENTS HARDY’S THE WOODLANDERS, A LAODICEAN, AND A PAIR OF BLUE EYES A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English By Allison Harris, B.A. Washington, D.C. April 28, 2021 Copyright 2021 by Allison Harris All Rights Reserved ii DARWINIAN MARRIAGE EXPERIMENTS HARDY’S THE WOODLANDERS, A LAODICEAN, AND A PAIR OF BLUE EYES Allison Harris, B.A. Thesis Advisor: John Pfordresher, Professor, Ph.D. ABSTRACT In this project I survey Thomas Hardy’s The Woodlanders, A Laodicean, and A Pair of Blue Eyes, exploring how Hardy, as a novelist, grapples with newfound scientific and ecological knowledge that shook humancentric beliefs about the natural world and transformed temporal realities. As a writer of books, Hardy experiments with these questions in his novels, placing the Victorian love-plot at the center of conversations about the (un)importance of humankind and a rapidly changing world. I suggest that Hardy’s recycling of narrative structures, both where he borrows plots or characters from medieval sources and where he repeats scenes across his own novels, is a form of experimentation; Hardy is testing the bounds and limitations of Victorian ways of thought. By exploring differences in representation of similar characters, events, or descriptions across Hardy’s writings and their departures in some cases from source materials, we uncover Victorian anxieties of time, space, and the natural world. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have reached completion without the support of many.

  • Critical Reception of Thomas Hardy's Short Stories
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 352 658 CS 213 617 AUTHOR Heber, Janice Stewart TITLE Critical Reception of Thomas Hardy's Short Stories: Finding "The Key to the Art." PUB DATE Mar 92 NOTE 17p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the College English Association (23rd, Pittsburgh, PA, March 27-29, 1992). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS English Literature; Higher Education; *Literary Criticism; Literature Appreciation; Reader Response; *Short Stories; Social Influences; *Victorian Literature IDENTIFIERS *Hardy (Thomas); Historical Background; Research Suggestions ABSTRACT Thomas Hardy has received great acclaim as a poet and novelist, but his short stories have remained largely ignored with regard to the usual short story "canon." Early reviews of Hardy's stories were mixed, but after his death the tide of critical opinion tended to turn against Hardy's stories. A significant historical factor was the prevalence of censorship by editors during the Victorian period, since Hardy focused on telling life stories "honestly." Hardy was forced by editors to alter his writing to conform to social standards of morality. Clearly, the effects of these circumstances are part of the history of these stories, thus affecting a full appreciation of them. Consideration of the reception history also sheds light on Hardy's innovative techniques, including his use of black comedy or the absurd. Critical opinion has also been affected by Hardy's theory of the storyteller's art, including his fascination with the "exceptional" or the bizarre. Hardy's explorations of the supernatural is an aspect of his stories Vat is most misunderstood by today's critics, who admire Modernist story tellers like Chekhov, Joyce and Hemingway.

His short stories, however, have never been seriously studied, except as an adjunct to his larger fictional canon. Generally, he has been considered a short-story writer manque, a novelist writing in an unfamiliar genre. Yet some of Hardy's first attempts in fiction were short stories, and his productivity in the form increased as he felt more free to write what he pleased- after he had established himself, professionally and financially, as a novelist.

  • Darkest Wessex: Hardy, the Gothic Short Story, and Masculinity
    Darkest Wessex: Hardy, the Gothic Short Story, and Masculinity Tracy Hayes Abstract Thomas Hardy is generally recognised as a powerful delineator of the female psyche, his intuitive understanding of the emotional complexities of women such as Tess Durbeyfield and Sue Bridehead being emphasised at the expense of his male characters, who are often viewed as weak and two- dimensional. However, Hardy's men are also examined in depth, in light of their ambitions, sensitivities, hypocrisies and social expectations, thereby giving voice to discursive categories of maleness often elided in the work of his contemporaries. In the Gothic short story as featured in Blackwood’s and similar magazines, the author’s intention is to elicit terror within a circumscribed textual space, creating a balance between actuality and artifice which holds the reader enthralled. The effect is achieved through the power of brevity. In this context a withered arm, a luridly disfigured statue and a demonic fiddle player are used as vehicles by Hardy through which the incredible or fantastic highlight instances of toxic masculinity and grotesque extremes of human nature in a concentrated modality which leaves behind an indelible impression. Key Words Thomas Hardy; Gothic; masculinity; short story; periodicals; folklore.
