Illustrated Weather Eye


Description

"My husband was an erudite gentleman; an avid reader from childhood, his breadth of knowledge was extensive. He was also charming, vivacious and mischievously funny; all of which attributes, in addition to his love of literature, history and science, surfaced in his Weather Eye column over the years. Here, I have tried to select articles that demonstrate these aspects of his character so that the reader may delight in him afresh."

'To be loved to madness - such was her great desire' Eustacia Vye criss-crosses the wild Egdon Heath, eager to experience life to the full in her quest for 'music, poetry, passion, war'. She marries Clym Yeobright, native of the heath, but his idealism frustrates her romantic ambitions and her discontent draws others into a tangled web of deceit and unhappiness. Early readers responded to Hardy's 'insatiably observant' descriptions of the heath, a setting that for D. H. Lawrence provided the 'real stuff of tragedy'. For modern readers, the tension between the mythic setting of the heath Illustrated Weather Eye download ebook and the modernity of the characters challenges our freedom to shape the world as we wish; like Eustacia, we may not always be able to live our dreams. This edition has a critically established text based on the manuscript and first edition.
