Description
In this episode, Liz and Grace discuss Thomas Hardy’s “Jude the Obscure”.
First published in 1895, the story follows Jude Fawley, a working-class man who dreams of becoming a scholar. These dreams are derailed, however, when he falls in love and marries the wrong woman.
Why was this Hardy's most controversial novel? Why do depressing books matter? How was Hardy ahead of his time? And why did he gain a place in the canon? These are just some of the questions Liz and Grace will be asking in the podcast.
