Synopsis Thomas Hardy's Novel Universe by : Pamela Gossin
In this, the first book-length study of astronomy in Hardy's writing, historian of science and literary scholar Pamela Gossin brings the analytical tools of both disciplines to bear as she offers unexpected and sophisticated readings of seven novels that enrich Darwinian and feminist perspectives on his work, extend formalist evaluations of his achievement as a writer, and provide fresh interpretations of enigmatic passages and scenes. In an elegantly crafted introduction, Gossin draws together the shared critical values and methods of literary studies and the history of science to articulate a hybrid model of scholarly interpretation and analysis that promotes cross-disciplinary compassion and understanding within the current contention of the science/culture wars. She then situates Hardy's own deeply interdisciplinary knowledge of astronomy and cosmology within both literary and scientific traditions, from the ancient world through the Victorian era. Gossin offers insightful new assessments of A Pair of Blue Eyes, Far from the Madding Crowd, The Return of the Native, Two on a Tower, The Woodlanders, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure, arguing that Hardy's personal synthesis of ancient and modern astronomy with mythopoetic and scientific cosmologies enabled him to write as a literary cosmologist for the post-Darwinian world. The profound new myths that comprise Hardy's novel universe can be read as a sustained set of literary thought-experiments by which he critiques the possibilities, limitations, and dangers of living out the storylines that such imaginative cosmologies project for his time - and ours.

Synopsis Thomas Hardy's Universe by : Ernest Brennecke
Excerpt from Thomas Hardy's Universe: A Study of a Poet's Mind Without criticizing Hardy's philosophy as one would criticize, say, Spinoza's, conceiving it as a system really warranted to lift the burthen of the mystery, dissecting it, and examining each detail with the bright and merciless instruments of a rigid induction and deduction, one may without great qualms yield to the temptation of observing, broadly, how the tentative and unadjusted scheme of the greatest living English poet fits in with those of such thinkers, also vocal to tragedy, who have chosen to eschew imaginative writing and to expose their attitudes more strictly in accordance with the laws of logic. If, i'ndeed, one may attempt to come to grips with the intellectual content of Hardy (and surely one may l - a more exhilarating mental sport can scarcely be imagined), it is as impossible to succeed in such an attempt without indicating parallelisms from philosophers as it is to discuss his art without pointing out literary parallels. In particular, it is quite impossible, from the first, to ignore Schopen hauer, - and before one has proceeded very far, Schopenhauer is found to have usurped practically the whole discussion.
