Exploring the nuanced perspective of Thomas Hardy, this analysis reveals his engagement with themes of oppression and imperialism despite his lack of recognition as an imperial writer. Bownas highlights Hardy's frequent references to historical empires and argues that his works advocate for marginalized groups affected by gender, class, race, and colonialism. Through a close examination of Hardy's writings, the book uncovers a complex interplay between his literary output and the socio-political context of his time.
