Recenzii
'... studying both his prose and his poetry, the author succeeds in further defending the idea that Hardy wrote against ideological oppression. She also gives us a complete, extremely well-versed perspective on imperial studies, relying on an extensive bibliography, which enables the reader to have clear insight into the position held by nineteenth-century Britain towards its empire.' Cahiers Victoriens et Edouardiens 'Bownas'ss viewpoint is well and clearly argued throughout.' English Studies
Descriere
Thomas Hardy is not generally recognized as an imperial writer, even though he wrote during a period of major expansion of the British Empire. Bownas examines the many references to past empires in Hardy's works and suggests that close analysis of Hardy's writings show him to be an advocate for all those suffering oppression whether this is due to gender, class, race or as colonized subjects.
