There has long been a tendency to regard Thomas Hardy as a great tragic
writer and to ignore or underestimate the value of his comic works. This
derives no doubt partly from the fact that comedy as an art form has been
consistently undervalued ever since Aristotle dealt with it so slightly and
so slightingly. It also stems from the evident inability of some readers
and critics to allow an artist a wide scope and multiple voices. Thomas
Hardy and the Comic Muse discusses the nature of comedy and the
various theories that purport to explain or define it, and examines Hardy's
works
—
novels, short stories, and poetry
—
in terms of the categories of
farce, humour, satire, and wit. It looks at where and why Hardy made use
of these forms of comedy, what his historical sources were, and why this
side of his work has been so frequently neglected. It also looks at what
insights might be offered by Hardy
—
both directly and indirectly
—
to
answer the difficult but always tantalizing question: what is comedy? The
two subjects, Hardy and Comedy, are counterpointed throughout so that
they prove to be mutually illuminating.
J. K. Lloyd Jones is a Visiting Fellow in English at the Australian
National University. She is co-editor of six collections of essays
