Résumé

Résumé : "Jude the Obscure" is the final novel by Thomas Hardy, first published in 1895. The narrative follows Jude Fawley, a young man from a lower-class background who aspires to become a scholar at the prestigious university in Christminster. Despite his changes, Jude's life is fraught with challenges, including his marriage to the pragmatic Arabella and his complex relationship with his intellectual cousin, Sue. The novel explores themes of class, education, religion, and the evolving societal norms of the time. Hardy delves into the constraints imposed by social structures and the personal turmoil experienced by individuals striving for self-fulfillment. The book was controversial upon its release, facing public backlash and even being burned by the Bishop of Exeter. Hardy's portrayal of marriage and religion was seen as a shift, reflecting the tensions between traditional values and modern thought. The novel's tragic elements and its critique of societal institutions make it a poignant commentary on the human condition and the pursuit of dreams in the face of societal limitations.
Biographie : Thomas Hardy OM (2 June 1840 - 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain, such as those from his native South West England. While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, he gained fame as the author of novels such as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). During his lifetime, Hardy's poetry was acclaimed by younger poets (particularly the Georgians) who viewed him as a mentor. After his death his poems were lauded by Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden and Philip Larkin.
