Publisher's Synopsis
The Hardy Review is a publication of The Thomas Hardy Association and the premier journal devoted to the scholarly study of Thomas Hardy. TTHA's original Uncollected Items series (items uncollected, even by Purdy), include unnoticed newspaper printings of Hardy's poems, pirated editions of his novels, uncollected articles and original literary resources. Peer-reviewed essays submitted by world-class scholars, graduate students and lay readers alike have drawn worldwide attention, for example, Andrew Radford's "Two on a Tower" (vol IV), & "A Laodicean" (vol V), Michael Rabiger's highly controversial "Hardy and Moule" (vol XIII-ii), Richard Sylvia's dilatory "Henniker/Dillon affair" (Vol XIII-ii), Rosemarie Morgan's outstanding piece of research on "Thomas Hardy Buys a Wife" (vol VIII), Hugh Epstein's, "Vision, Substance and Literary Style in A Laodicean" (vol XIV-i), Herbert Tucker's "At the Bottom Line: How Hardy Tries Conclusions" (Vol XIV-ii), Keith Clavin's "History of Negation: Liberty and Coercion in Jude (Vol XIV-ii), and the entire collection of scholarly essays from the FATHOM conference in Istanbul (2012). More recent issues have featured the incomparable research work of Roy Winnick who has unearthed more than two dozen previously unknown allusion sources in Hardy. Past issues have also included symposia on Hardy and film, Hardy and dance, as well as papers from international Hardy conferences. The Hardy Review also publishes book reviews, selections from TTHA's Poem-of-the-Month seminar and works by acclaimed Living Poets. A new series on Hardy Abroad features historical approaches to Hardy's reception across the globe - thus far, Hardy in Israel, Hardy in India, Hardy in China, Hardy in France, Hardy in Italy, Hardy in Latvia and more.
