Pamela Gossin

Thomas Hardy's Novel Universe (eBook, PDF)

Astronomy, Cosmology, and Gender in the Post-Darwinian World

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In the first book-length study of astronomy in Hardy's writing, historian of science and literary scholar Pamela Gossin offers complex and inspired readings of seven novels that enrich previous Darwinian, feminist and formalist perspectives on his work. She shows that Hardy's personal synthesis of ancient and modern astronomy with mythopoetic and scientific cosmologies enabled him to construct new myths by which his readers might comprehend their relationship to the universe and one another.
