520    Because Thomas Hardy is so closely associated with the 
       rural Wessex of his novels, stories, and poems, it is easy
       to forget that he was, in his own words, half a Londoner. 
       Focusing on the formative five years in his early twenties
       when Hardy lived in the city, but also on his subsequent 
       movement back and forth between Dorset and the capital, 
       Mark Ford shows that the Dorset-London axis is critical to
       an understanding of his identity as a man and his 
       achievement as a writer. Thomas Hardy: Half a Londoner 
       presents a detailed account of Hardy's London experiences,
       from his arrival as a shy, impressionable youth, to his 
       embrace of radical views, to his lionization by upper-
       class hostesses eager to fête the creator of Tess. Drawing
       on Hardy's poems, letters, fiction, and autobiography, it 
       offers a subtle, moving exploration of the author's 
       complex relationship with the metropolis and those he met 
       or observed there: publishers, fellow authors, street-
       walkers, benighted lovers, and the aristocratic women who 
       adored his writing but spurned his romantic advances. The 
       young Hardy's oscillations between the routines and 
       concerns of Dorset's Higher Bockhampton and the 
       excitements and dangers of London were crucial to his 
       profound sense of being torn between mutually dependent 
       but often mutually uncomprehending worlds. This 
       fundamental self-division, Ford argues, can be traced not 
       only in the poetry and fiction explicitly set in London 
       but in novels as regionally circumscribed as Far from the 
       Madding Crowd and Tess of the d'Urbervilles.--|cProvided
