  • 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.

  • 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 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.

    “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.

FORTY YEARS IN AN AUTHOR'S LIFE A Dozen Letters* (1876-1915) from Thomas Hardy annotated by CARL J. WEBER URING his lifetime Henry Holt, the American pub­ D lisher, was very proud of the fact that he had been the one to introduce the Wessex Novels to American readers. "I introduced Hardy here," he boasted. He began by pub­ lishing Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree in 1873-without Hardy's knowledge or permission-and he therefore had little just ground for complaint when, on June 20, 1875, the New York Times began the publication of a new Hardy novel about which Holt had received no information.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis is a critical study of the distinctive qualities and the development of Hill's poetry. It identifies two characteristic features of his work. The first is the pervasive presence of reflexivity. While there is a reflexive element in much poetry, Hill's poems are marked by a sustained scrutiny of their own medium, expressing an intense concern with the moral and intellectual risks of poetic utterance. The second feature is the aspiration to impersonality. This has a direct source in T.S. Eliot's critical writing, but Hill's poetry exhibits a high degree of sophistication in its engagement with this modernist ideal, employing a range of strategies to renegotiate the role of the subject in poetry.

  • English Literature
    ENGLISH LITERATURE THOMAS HARDY During the summer, you should choose and read a novel by Thomas Hardy. We can recommend Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Far From the Madding Crowd, The Mayor of Casterbridge, The Woodlanders, Two on a Tower, Jude the Obscure and The Return of the Native but there are others and you can decide. If a novel is too daunting, try a selection of Hardy’s short stories. Start with The Withered Arm and then try The Three Strangers. Read a selection of poems by Hardy including The Darkling Thrush, Domicilium, Neutral Tones, The Ruined Maid, The Tramp Woman’s Tragedy, An August Midnight, The Impercipient, The Man he Killed, Drummer Hodge, and The Convergence of the Twain. Visit the website www.hardysociety.org and read the section About Hardy. Look too at the Resources section and follow some of the links about the novel you are reading and the poetry. If you are really keen, visit the Dorchester Museum, take a walk to Stinsford Church and Hardy’s cottage together with any other local sites that are mentioned in the novels. If you look at the neal.oxborrow.net/Thomas_Hardy/hardyplacenames.htm you will find a comprehensive list. Look at www.imdb.com to consider the different film adaptations. Try www.youtube.com which also has some audio recordings and reviews. Write a 500 word review of the novel or short story giving a very brief synopsis of what it is about and your views about the development of character, setting and plot. .
