Description

In this academic study from Routledge, Rosemarie Morgan challenges the idea that the women in Thomas Hardy's novels lack control over their lives. While many readers view these characters as victims of fate, Morgan argues they are active agents who struggle and resist. This book explores how Hardy's heroines use their sexuality as a form of resistance, even when the author had to disguise these qualities due to societal pressures. Morgan restores the physical and sexual reality of these characters, reclaiming the birthright that the male-dominated world of Hardy's settings sought to deny them. It is an essential read for those studying literature, gender, and the works of Thomas Hardy.

Key Features

This Routledge publication provides a new perspective on the agency of women within Thomas Hardy's literary works.

Rosemarie Morgan examines how sexuality serves as a method of resistance for Hardy's female characters.

The text explores the tension between the characters' physical realities and the male-dominated worlds they inhabit.

Readers will find a detailed analysis of how Hardy's heroines struggle for control over their own conduct and destiny.
