Through its close analysis of letters, telegrams, and hand-delivered notes in Hardy's novels, short stories, and poems, it ties together a wide range of subjects: technological and infrastructural developments; material culture; individual subjectivity and the construction of identity; the relationship between private experience and social conventions; and the new narrative possibilities suggested by modern modes of communication. . 000755587 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed June 29, 2016) 000755587 60010 $$aHardy, Thomas,$$d1840-1928$$xCorrespondence. 000755587 650_0 $$aLetters$$xHistory and criticism. 000755587 650_0 $$aLetter writing$$xHistory. 000755587 852__ $$bebk 000755587 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-29102-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755587 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755587$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755587 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755587 980__ $$aBIB 000755587 982__ $$aEbook 000755587 983__ $$aOnline 000755587 994__ $$a92$$bISE
