Book Synopsis Thomas Hardy, Sensationalism, and the Melodramatic Mode by : R. Nemesvari
Book excerpt: The first full-length study of sensationalist and melodramatic elements in Hardy's novels uses six of his texts to demonstrate the ways in which Hardy uses the melodramatic mode to advance his critique of established Victorian cultural beliefs through the employment of non-realistic plot devices and sensational 'excess.'
