Produktbeschreibung

Offers to deconstruct the mythic "Hardy", "poet of Wessex" and "novelist of character and environment", in selecting 13 essays, from 1980 onwards, which represent "Tess" from very different contemporary critical perspectives - feminist, cultural-materialist and post-structuralist approaches.

---

Thomas Hardy has long been critically constructed as 'poet of Wessex' and 'novelist of Character and Environment'. This volume offers to deconstruct such a mythic 'Hardy' in selecting contemporary critical essays which re-present Tess from very different critical perspectives. Feminist, cultural-materialist and poststructuralist approaches in particular explore gender, class and language by way of the novel's riven textuality. In the process, the Introduction claims, Tess emerges as a potent postmodern text.
