A propos de cet article

Hardcover. It has been said that both Thomas Hardy's wives were livlier letter-writers than he was himself. They were certainly less discreet, especially on the subject of their marital grievances, with the result that Hardy's intensely private life and personality are uniquely illuminated in the letters of the two women who knew him best. Their characteristic voices-and their opinions on many other subjects besides their husband-sound clearly through this generous selection of their letters: it is the first time they have spoken extensively in print. Hardy married Emma Lavinia Gilford in 1874, when he was thirty-four and she thirty-three; two years later after her death in 1912 he married Florence Emily Dugdale, thirty-nine years his junior. Relatively few of Emma's letters survive, but those included vividly register not only her distinctive personality and ideas but also, if less directly, the deteriorating later phases of her marriage. Florence Hardy's leters are far more numerous, largely because of her husband's immense fame in old age, and her own role as the doorkeeper of Max Gate.Those she wrote as Florence Dugdale-some to Emma Hardy herself-are eloquent of the painful dilemmas created by Hardy's growing dependence on her during Emma's lifetime. The ones written as Florence Hardy - to Sydney Cockerell, Siegfried Sassoon, and many others - constitute a remarkable record of literary marriage, reflecting fully and poignantly both the rewards and, especially, the costs of being (as her Times obituary put it) the helpmate of genius. A fully annotated selection of the letters of Emma and Florence Hardy, successively the wives of Thomas Hardy. This item is printed on demand.
