Description

Explore a fresh perspective on a literary giant with Thomas Hardy and Empire: The Representation of Imperial Themes in the Work of Thomas Hardy. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work examines how Hardy's writing interacts with the era of British Empire expansion. While many see him differently from his contemporaries, Jane L. Bownas looks closely at his references to the Roman Empire and the Napoleonic Wars to reveal a deeper connection to imperial themes. This book provides a detailed examination of how Hardy's work challenges established society and questions the very idea of empire. By analyzing his use of concepts regarding the primitive and the civilized, Bownas offers a new way to understand his literary contributions. It is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the intersection of Victorian literature and the social history of the British Empire.
