- W82872455 abstract "Understanding Hardy's uses of time in fiction involves recognition of his Janus-inclination to be always looking in two directions at once, the past and the present. Commensurate with his double vision in time was an ability to store within a cosmic memory, myth and history of the ancient past, which, to Hardy, represented the real universe. Victorian era, of course, was the novelist's present age. Hardy's reaction to the incessant changes this age brought to England's ancient traditions was chronic, yet not futile. He discovered in the mythohistoric kingdom of ancient Wessex a substitute for England's rapidly developing industrial complex. This essay studies Hardy's dual understanding of time as preserver and de? stroyer; his idea of time as continuity, integral to the concept of time as preserver; and the chronological frontier which, in part, illustrates how he separated the two times both in his imagination and in reality. study attempts to explain how Hardy's imagination and memory were peculiarly adapted for the task of re-creating the ancient past of Dorset? shire as a plausible entity in continuity with his own century. conclu? sion suggests that Hardy's finest novels were the result of a tragic vision caused in part by an age which depressed him so much that he was unable to sustain his vision of Wessex time. Hardy was fascinated with the problems and riddles of time, as a result probably from meditating all things against the background of the past. His first surviving poem, Domicilium, is set fifty years in the past?a favorite perspective of Hardy's?and contrasts the slowed-time of Dorset's past with the Victorian age in which change has marked / face of things.1 As early as fifteen he copied The Old Cottage Clock, a poem by Charles Swain, and pasted it inside the grandfather's clock in his Bockhampton home. His biography reveals that The first effusion of his to see the light of print was an anonymous skit in a Dor? chester paper on the disappearance of the Aims-House clock, which then as now stood on a bracket on South Street (Life, p. 33).
