[Hardy-l] The grotesque in Hardy

[Charles.Anesi at wellsfargo.com]

Jackie,

Never really thought about this, but now that you mention it, I can see
a strong affinity between Sherwood Anderson's rustic "grotesques" in
Winesburg, Ohio and many Hardy characters.  (Not sure how widely read
Anderson is nowadays outside the U.S.)  Not being a literary scholar  I
can't provide a wealth of references but a quick Google search showed
this one which you probably already have : Harris, Nicola. "'The Danse
Macabre': Hardy's The Return of the Native, Browning, Ruskin and the
Grotesque." Thomas Hardy Yearbook 1998; 26: 24-30.
