Hardy’s Humanity: “A Strange Respect for the Individual, an Extraordinary Respect”
This paper uses Deleuze’s reflections on Hardy’s writing to examine the sense of the latter’s humanity as it attaches itself to a compassionate celebration of the individual. Though scarce, Deleuze’s remarks on Hardy open the way for an exploration of how questions of identity, of the self and the s...

En partant des réflexions de Deleuze sur l’écriture de Hardy, nous souhaitons ici étudier le sentiment d’humanité de ce dernier, célébration de l’individu tout empreinte de compassion. Bien que très éparses, ces remarques de Deleuze sur Hardy ouvrent la voie à une exploration de la façon dont la poésie hardyenne traite les questions d’identité, du sujet et du soi. L’humanité de Hardy s’envisage ici comme un humanisme qui s’exprime dans l’attachement sincère de l’auteur au vivant et à l’humain, aux expériences ordinaires de l’individu au quotidien, mais également dans la perspective plus large d’une compassion universelle – altruisme qui se trouve au cœur de plusieurs poèmes de guerre, notamment. En dernier lieu, l’intérêt que porte Hardy à l’échelle humaine lui permet de relayer, par le biais de sa poésie, le sentiment d’un être fragmenté, sentiment que viennent illustrer de nombreux poèmes personnels ou introspectifs. |

This paper uses Deleuze’s reflections on Hardy’s writing to examine the sense of the latter’s humanity as it attaches itself to a compassionate celebration of the individual. Though scarce, Deleuze’s remarks on Hardy open the way for an exploration of how questions of identity, of the self and the subject are dealt with in Hardy’s poetry. Hardy’s humanity is here considered as a form of humanism expressed through the author’s sincere attachment to the living and the human, to the individual’s commonplace experiences of everyday life, but also in a wider perspective that offers universal sympathy – an altruism at the core of many war poems in particular.
