| Sumario: | Thomas Hardy’s perspective on aesthetics and literature, retrieved from his personal notebooks and from his only three theoretical essays on the subject, is examined. The Profitable Reading of Fiction (1888), Candour in English Fiction (1890) and The Science of Fiction (1891) are investigated, compared and contrasted with Georg Lukacs’ ideas on the aesthetics of Realism and Naturalism (1968), with special emphasis on the points of contact between the two authors. A discussion also ensues on how Hardy’s theories on literary aesthetics are developed in his own literary production with regard to some short stories and novels. Critics’ perspectives on Hardy’s role in the history of English literature are also investigated. |
