Abstract

The article in the Thomas Hardy Journal explores the subversion of John Milton's Paradise Lost in Thomas Hardy's novel Far From the Madding Crowd. It delves into the portrayal of characters like Bathsheba, Sergeant Troy, and William Boldwood as they challenge and reinterpret traditional gender stereotypes. By examining the interactions and dynamics between these characters, the article highlights Hardy's unique approach to storytelling and his critique of Victorian societal norms influenced by Milton's epic poem. The analysis provides a nuanced perspective on how Hardy's novel challenges and expands upon the themes presented in Paradise Lost. [Extracted from the article]
