George Levine Book order (chronological)

A powerful new account of Hardy's novels by a leading scholar, emphasizing their affirmative elements and their often poetic prose. George Levine provides an overview of Hardy's entire fictional canon, drawing attention to the influence of Charles Darwin on his work and Hardy's own impact on Virginia Woolf and D. H. Lawrence.

This is a republication of one of the most important books ever published, and a continuing source of controversy a century and a half later - Darwin's 'On The Origin of Species'.
