Rezensionen
"Perhaps Hardy the poet needs a separate Companion. If it matched this one in the quality of writing and usefulness to the student, it would be a treasure."
"Keith Wilson's A Companion to Thomas Hardy, is distinguished for the thoroughness with which it covers intellectual contexts and for the quality of its contributors. Scholars and students of Hardy will not want to be without it."
"Like the many other titles in the Blackwell Companions to Literature and Culture series, this volume offers comprehensive, newly written work that meets the needs of experienced undergraduates, graduate students, and all who seek the best recent scholarship on Hardy ... These fresh perspectives on Hardy will lead many to reread Hardy with new vision."
"There must be at least ten good books' worth of ideas and analysis in these thirty essays"
"Hardy was a diverse, complex author, and this text mirrors his diversity and does much to explain his complexity. Highly recommended."
"Given the range and number of its essays as well as its treatment of those who influenced Hardy, such as Darwin and Mill, this book will be indispensable for anyone conducting research in the nineteenth-century novel or poetry or teaching in the area ... With thirty critical essays from some of the most prominent experts in Hardy scholarship, in addition to Keith Wilson's provocative and concise introduction, this new book will inspire readers to return to the texts themselves."
"This collection of essays is accessible to both the general reader and the scholar ... The typeface is clear, the page quality and binding of a high standard, making this, like other titles in the series, an excellent addition to any academic library collection serving English literary studies and the public library looking to provide an up to date critical context for its fiction collection."
