About This Event

Thomas Hardy – Nature, Fate and Love – GI 26 102 is scheduled for September 29th at the Guildford Institute in Windsor. The course will examine Hardy’s novels Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the D’Urbervilles.

This course will look at the novels Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the D’Urbervilles considering the significance of Hardy’s depiction of nature, his ideas of fate and his depth of characterisation including the contrasting fates of the protagonists, Bathsheba and Tess. We will also look at some of Hardy’s later poems, featuring the loss of his first wife Emma, such as The Voice . Preferably participants should have read Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the D’Urbervilles but this is not essential.

Description supplied by the event organiser.
