Abstract

The article examines the textual interior of the poetry of writer Thomas Hardy. Hardy's poetry does not organize, rationalize or valorize objects it takes. It does not bring them under a concept of the aesthetic. The materials incorporated by the poetry retain an awkward empirical quiddity even if they are assembled in a recognizable value-form.
