초록
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)'s Wessex Tales is the first collection of short stories where Hardy incorporated "Wessex" in its title. Hardy attempted to represent real-life Dorset in the fictional world of Wessex. Furthermore, in the light of Hardy's body of work, Wessex is a symbol and also a living organism. In other words, it is a collection of bits of a world which Hardy knew remarkably well. Hardy not only took care in choosing and rearranging the stories in the Wessex Tales for a re-edited version, but he also paid detailed attention for the stories to possess an internal unity in regards to the theme and the literary technique. Wessex Tales consists of seven stories including “A Tradition of Eighteen Hundred and Four,” which was added in 1912 and “The Melancholy Hussar of the German Legion." The stories included here are based on the life and traditions in Dorset during the mid-nineteenth century. Wessex Tales reflects both ancient and modern aspects of the period: some stories in this volume come from folk tales which Hardy had heard while growing up in Dorset. With others, Hardy attempted to point out social and literary issues of the late Victorian period by reflecting them in the stories's structure and contents. Also, the stories in Wessex Tales were written at a time when Hardy was living a transitional life between Dorset and London. In other words, Hardy was in a transitional state between the Country and the Town. Such state resulted in opportunities where Hardy could uniquely understand and represent the rural world (Dorset) as well as observe how Dorset’s landscape and culture were reflected on the metropolitan people of London. The world represented in Wessex Tales is not a place where the ancient and the modern, or the past and the present are in a conflict. Rather, it is where the universal truth of all human experiences are displayed.
