By this I mean that Hardy did not challenge Romantic ideals in the way he did in his later novels. So in the earlier novels, the Romantic influence was strong, but it was also largely imitative. In my thesis I argue that Hardy was influenced by Romantic poets to varying degrees throughout his novel-writing career (which spanned from rougly 1870-1897): the influence was not static. ![]() It takes one of the chapters from my thesis and draws out the two main points from this chapter, to provide an abbreviated discussion of Hardy's affinity with Wordsworth and Shelley. ![]() The following article is a work in progress, taken from my thesis on the Romantic influence on selected novels of Thomas Hardy.
