- Inhalt
- One of the most prolific writers of the Victorian Era, Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) is still regarded as a major influence on English literature. His novels, set in the fictional county of Wessex in Southern England, explore fundamentally human drives and experiences. At the core of Hardy’s realist fiction, we find people – their relationships, joys and sorrows – any many of his characters are still household names today, such as Tess Durbeyfield, Jude Fawley or Bathsheba Everdene. Hardy’s writing contributed enormously to the development of the realist novel and his books often expose Victorian hypocrisy and meaningless morality or religious conventions. Infidelity, illicit love, illegitimate motherhood, questionable courtship, and social ostracism are set before a backdrop of seemingly pastoral Wessex. The social fabric of his fictional towns and their inhabitants is laid open and the reader can see behind the façade of the Victorian small town.
This course will look at some of Hardy’s novels, a few stories and a few poems by discussing and analysing themes and topics in his works. While most of the novels will have to be read before the beginning of the semester, some additions to the course material will be made during the semester and via the VC course.
Trip to Dorset 04.09.2017-10.09.2017
The department of English Literature is planning a trip to Dorset in September.
We will explore the locations of John Fowles’ The French Lieutenant’s Woman (we will stay in Lyme Regis), Tracy Chevalier’s Remarkable Creatures (the story of Mary Anning, the 19th Century paleontologist who found very significative fossils along the Jurassic Coast) and Natasha Solomons’ The Novel in the Viola (we will visit the ghost town of Tyneham) as well as several places of Thomas Hardy’s Wessex.
A meeting with all details (open to everyone who is interested) will be held May 4th at 8 pm, room U5/00.24. Registration for the trip will be until 6th May.
If you are interested and you already plan to come with us to Dorset please write an email to: chiara.manghi(at)uni-bamberg.de
