What People are Saying About This

Terry Eagleton

"Penny Boumelha's shrewd, subtle reading of Hardy makes her book one of the most valuable and original studies of the novels to have appeared for some time. Keenly historical, theoretically sophisticated and critically acute, Boumelha's book contains, alongside its probing assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of Hardy's presentation of women, an absorbing account of the 'New Woman' fiction of the time which is a genuinely new contribution to feminist literary studies."
— Terry Eagleton
