This course concentrates on the life and work of the greatest late-Victorian English novelist, Thomas Hardy. The attention is paid to six major novels (with the exception of Tess of the d'Urbervilles, this being studied in the B.A. course), to a few representative examples of Hardy's poetry and to some basic critical works on Hardy. Thus not only texts are discussed, but students are provided with broader cultural and social contexts.
