Εκδότης: BROADVIEW PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0735-0049
When Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure appeared in 1895, it immediately caused scandal and controversy. Its frank treatment of Jude's sexual relationships with Arabella and Sue, its scathing criticisms of late-Victorian hypocrisy, its depiction of the "New Woman," and its attacks on "holy wedlock" and religious bigotry outraged numerous reviewers; one called the book "Jude the Obscene."

(P/B) HARDY: SELECTED POEMS
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0746

(P/B) DESPERATE REMEDIES
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0738
Cytherea has taken a position as lady's maid to the eccentric arch-intriguer Miss Aldclyffe. On discovering that the man she loves, Edward Springrove, is already engaged to his cousin, Cytherea comes under the influence of Miss Aldclyffe's fascinating, manipulative steward Manston. Blackmail, murder and romance are among the ingredients of Hardy's first published novel, and in it he draws blithely on the 'sensation novel' perfected by Wilkie Collins. Several perceptive critics praised the author as a novelist with a future when Desperate R... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |
