Lectures from the Allen Room & Wertheim Study: Thomas Hardy's Autobiography : Shaping a Writer's Life

Thomas Hardy () was one of the most accomplished and prolific writers of both the Victorian and Modern eras.  Although Hardy may be best known today as a novelist, his nearly one thousand poems have contributed significantly to his popular perception, as has the controversial biography alternately attributed to his second wife, Florence, and to Hardy himself.   Hardy's apparent ghost-authorship of The Early Life of Thomas Hardy and The Later Years of Thomas Hardy (published together as The Life of Thomas Hardy) has become accepted as part of his history, so much so that the portions written by Hardy himself, rather than Florence, have been excerpted into their own book, The Life and Work of Thomas Hardy, compiled by Michael Millgate.

In this presentation, Steinberg will explore the ways in which this complex biographical history has shaped contemporary readings of Hardy's work and explore how Hardy aimed to separate his life from his art, an effort that has largely been foiled by today's emphasis on biography in literary interpretation.

Gillian Steinberg, a writer in residence in the Library’s Wertheim Study, is Associate Professor of English at Yeshiva Universi
