Description

Explore the definitive textual analysis of Thomas Hardy's collected short stories with this scholarly work from Routledge. Part of The Nineteenth Century Series, this study provides a deep look into the development of Hardy's tales. It traces the evolution of each story from its original manuscript through newspaper serial versions, galley proofs, and various revisions to its final form in collected editions. Hardy was known for his constant habit of revision, a trait seen in his short stories just as much as in his famous novels. This book examines how even the stories he claimed to dislike underwent meticulous and continuous changes. Some versions were altered more than thirty years after their initial publication. By looking at minute changes in plot, landscape, and character, this study offers a clear view of the author's creative process and his dedication to refining his craft over many decades.
