Описание: Thomas Hardy is not generally recognized as an imperial writer, even though he wrote during a period of major expansion of the British Empire. Bownas examines the many references to past empires in Hardy`s works and suggests that close analysis of Hardy`s writings show him to be an advocate for all those suffering oppression whether this is due to gender, class, race or as colonized subjects.
