Description - The Descent of the Imagination by Kevin Z. Moore

This work is designed to place Thomas Hardy's writing within the context of 19th-century fiction writing as a genre. The author regards his examination of Hardy's work as a form of archaeology, as well as a genealogy of the romantic figure in fiction, from Wordsworth to Hardy. Moore provides readers with an interpretation of Hardy's method of composition, using source material that should interest Hardy scholars. He offers an original view of the novelist which argues that his work, especially his later writings, were a deliberate re-writing of romanticism.
