Un Jour dans l'HistoireThomas Hardy : Noir, c’est noir, mais qu’est-ce que c’est beauNous sommes en 1888, en Angleterre.
Thomas Hardy, qui n’est pas encore l’écrivain acclamé, mais controversé de « Tess d’Urbeville », songe déjà à une histoire qui va entraîner le lecteur dans les tréfonds de la noirceur. L’ouvrage paraît d'abord sous forme de feuilleton dès 1895.
C’est un énorme scandale. Immoralité, éructent les uns, critique honteuse de la religion, s’indignent les autres.
Hardy bafouent les institutions, socles de la société victorienne.
Le barouf est tel que l'évêque d'Exeter fait publiquement brûler le livre.
Alors qui est ce fauteur de trouble ?
D’où vient Thomas Hardy, figure...

Novel Approaches‘The Mayor of Casterbridge’ by Thomas HardyAfter drunkenly selling his wife and child at auction, a young Michael Henchard resolves to live differently – and does so, skyrocketing from impoverished haytrusser to mayor of his adoptive town. Every unexpected disaster and sudden reversal in The Mayor of Casterbridge stems from its opening, in a plot which draws as much from realist fiction as Shakespearean tragedy and the sensation novel.
Mary Wellesley and Mark Ford join Clare Bucknell to unpick the many strands in Thomas Hardy’s first Wessex novel. They explore how the novel – at once ‘algorithmic’, theatrical and fatalistic – is suffused with Hardy’s class anxietie...

Present PoetrySatires of Circumstance by Thomas HardyThomas Hardy was born June 2nd, 1840 in Higher Brockhampton, Dorset, England. When he was eight, Hardy began attending Mr. Last's Academy for Young Gentlemen in Dorchester. While there, he demonstrated great academic potential. However, his family didn't have the means for higher education, so he left school at 16 and became apprenticed to a local architect.
In 1898, Hardy published his first volume of poetry, Wessex Poems, a collection of poems written over 30 years. While some suggest that Hardy gave up writing novels following the harsh criticism of Jude the Obscure in 1896, it was never verified.

Lucky WordsEpisode 4.13 Thomas Hardy’s “The Convergence of the Twain"Recorded in a tiny little canyon that I never learned the name for, but it was peaceful and quiet. Everyone should have a peaceful, quiet little place to read a poem every now and again. As I mention in the commentary, this is interesting because it's simultaneously modern -- I mean, it's talking about an event in the 20th century! -- but also has something older about it. All of Thomas Hardy does, I think, and this in particular. We don't worry much about the role that Fates play in our lives these days. #### TEXT...

Landscape in Hardy's novel is central to the narrative and it is his vivid descriptions of the stunning setting in which he grew up that lend authenticity and magic to what he wrote.
