Event Description
LOCATION AND TRANSFORMATION IN HARDY’S TESS
This lecture anticipates Professor Bullen’s forthcoming book, The World of Thomas Hardy’s Novels, in which he explores the way in which Hardy, using the art, architecture and music of the nineteenth century, transforms Dorset locations into the visionary places of Wessex.
Focussing on Tess of the d’Urbervilles Professor Bullen shows how the story is suffused with myth and legend and how the mythographic substructure transforms everyday locations into places that are preternaturally magical.
