On Thomas Hardy: Late Essays and Earlier
ISBN: 9780333679982 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The author, a leading and influential critic of Thomas Hardy, brings together for the first time essays representing both his major critical work over the last fifteen years and three entirely new pieces. This volume allows readers to test the force of Widdowson's critical polemic in undispersed form. Readable, engaged and, no doubt, often infuriating, this is a book for all those who still regard Hardy as 'our contemporary'.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles: Thomas Hardy
ISBN: 9780333545850 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 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.

Hardy in History: A Study in Literary Sociology
ISBN: 9781138677517 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1989, this study investigates Hardy not so much in terms of his novels but as he has been constituted as a major figure in English literature. Using Hardy as a case-study, it looks at how a ‘great writer’ is produced in sociological terms, analysing the critical, cultural and ideological factors involved. By exposing this construction, the book seeks to release Hardy from the constraints imposed by orthodox literary history. This book will be of interest to those studying nineteenth-century literature.
