Description

This scholarly examination explores how Thomas Hardy engaged with imperial concepts during the height of British Empire expansion, despite rarely being categorized as an imperial writer. Jane L. Bownas analyses Hardy's numerous references to the Roman Empire and Napoleonic Wars, uncovering how his work challenged established society and questioned the very foundations of empire itself. The book investigates Hardy's treatment of primitive and civilised ideas that were central to Western thought, revealing a writer whose literary output extended far beyond traditional interpretations. Bownas argues that Hardy's writings offer a critical perspective on imperialism and societal structures, making this work essential for understanding both Hardy's literary legacy and Victorian attitudes towards empire and civilisation during this transformative period.
