A Group of Noble Dames is an 1891 collection of short stories written by Thomas Hardy. The stories are contained by a frame narrative in which ten members of a club each tell one story about a noble dame in the 17th or 18th century. Contents Part I-Before Dinner The First Countess of Wessex by the local historian Barbara of the House of Grebe by the old surgeon The Marchioness of Stonehenge by the rural dean Lady Mottisfont by the sentimental member Part II-After Dinner The Lady Icenway by the churchwarden Squire Petrick's Lady by the crimson maltster Anna, Lady Baxby by the colonel The Lady Penelope by the man of family The Duchess Of Hamptonshire by the quiet gentleman The Honourable Laura by the spark Publication All ten stories were published in serial magazines before Hardy collected them into book form. "The Duchess of Hamptonshire" and "The Honourable Laura" were written relatively early in Hardy's career, in 1878 and 1881 respectively. "The First Countess of Wessex" and "The Lady Penelope" were written in 1888-89. Hardy revised all four of these stories significantly before adding them to the collection in 1891. The remaining six stories were written in early 1890 and published in bowdlerised form in a special Christmas number of The Graphic in December 1890. Hardy collected all ten stories together for the first time in A Group of Noble Dames, which was published in England by Osgood, McIlvaine, & Co. and in America by Harper & Brothers in 1891. The critical reception of the book was mixed.. Thomas Hardy, OM (2 June 1840 - 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, especially William Wordsworth.Charles Dickens was another important influence.[page needed] Like Dickens, he was highly critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focused more on a declining rural society. While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, therefore, he gained fame as the author of novels, including Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). Hardy's poetry, though prolific, was not as well received during his lifetime. It was rediscovered in the 1950s, when Hardy's poetry had a significant influence on the Movement poets of the 1950s and 1960s, including Philip Larkin.Most of his fictional works - initially published as serials in magazines - were set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex. They explored tragic characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances. Hardy's Wessex is based on the medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom and eventually came to include the counties of Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, Hampshire and much of Berkshire, in southwest and south central England...

A Changed Man, and Other Tales By Thomas Hardy

Jocelyn Pierston pertenece a una de las familias más importantes de Horada, una isla dedicada a la explotación de sus canteras. Sin embargo, desea dedicarse al arte y aspira a ser uno de los genios más reputados de Inglaterra. Romántico empedernido, cree estar bajo los efectos de una maldición que le impele a perseguir a la amada ideal. Esta atracción, a la que su voluntad no puede oponerse, será la causa de su desdicha, y de una extraodinaria historia de amor que abarca cuarenta años de su vida y que queda reflejada en la relación que mantendrá con tres generaciones de la familia Caro, la abuela, la hija y la nieta. Con una precisión psicológica admirable y una excelente descripción de las situaciones, Thomas Hardy plantea en esta novela el sometimiento de las personas a su destino implacable. Y en este caso el destino del protagonista no es otro que una incesante búsqueda de su amada ideal.

Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, George Moore, Walter Besant and Henry James are the contributors in this collection of short Victorian stories. "The Manchester Marriage" (Elizabeth Gaskell) - Probably the most romantic of the tales, and the most sentimental as well as the most predictable. "A Mere Interlude" (Thomas Hardy) - Thomas Hardy always seems to have a knack for creating stunningly flawed characters, and the female lead, Baptista, is no exception. Her flaw is that she has no self-esteem, confidence, or ambition, but seems content to a vapid existence where all decisions are made by others, including an abusive ex-boyfriend. The success of her marriage seems to be in that she eventually finally figures out a way to be at least moderately in charge of her own life, via being forced to take charge of her husband's children. "A Faithful Heart" (George Moore) - Here's where the feeling of "Successful Marriage" being a euphemism for "Women enduring bullying men" really comes to the fore. Speaking from the stance of a modern woman without children, you will find the treatment endured by the Major's wife appalling, and could never imagine putting up with, let alone being thankful for, such contemptible conduct - but it is better than being cast off and censured as a fallen woman in Victorian England. "The Solid Gold Reef Company" (Walter Besant) - Probably the most interesting aspect of this story is the way that it is told: almost purely through dialogue, with nearly no explanation of characters or who is speaking. It is left to the audience to deduce the characters and their motivations, thus making it a story in which truly, the characters really speak for themselves - there is no narrator to speak for them. You will find some of the dialogue interesting, for 1895, with modish slang and terms of address that seemed quite ahead of their time. "The Tree of Knowledge" (Henry James) - James' mastery of character is evident in this short story about a proud man, Peter Brench, who is in love with his best friend's wife but has never revealed it. While not a lot of physical movement happens in this story from scene to scene, we see the depth of his insecurity as the story progresses. Peter discovers that, despite all his knowledge, his overconfidence has caused him to be wrong about one tiny fact, which completely changes the meaning of his life. It's beautiful, sad, and powerful. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy!
