This essay examines just part of Hardy’s creative methodology, his attempts to subvert his own text in keeping with his anti-establishment views, some 20 years before achieving sufficient freedom from the codes and practices of censorship to be able to express them openly in Tess. The focus of this essay is confined to Hardy’s treatment of Fanny Robin and the subtextual devices he employs in his efforts to arouse the reader’s compassion for the Fallen Woman. Far from the Madding Crowd ne répondit pas aux attentes de Leslie Stephen, le rédacteur qui avait passé commande d’un roman pastoral dans la veine de Under the Greenwood Tree. Le roman, au contraire, fut soumis à une censure rigoureuse avant d’être publié dans le Cornhill. Cet article étudie en partie la méthodologie créative de Hardy, ses tentatives pour subvertir son propre texte sans renier ses vues contestataires, une vingtaine d’années avant de s’être suffisamment affranchi des codes et pratiques de la censure pour pouvoir exprimer ses vues ouvertement dans Tess of the d’Urbervilles. Cet article se concentre sur le traitement par Hardy de Fanny Robin et sur les procédés d’écriture sous-jacents qui lui permettent de faire naître la compassion du lecteur pour la Femme Déchue. |
