Between 1893 and 1895, especially, he pursued her, offering architectural lessons, urging meetings, promoting her creative work, and collaborating with her on two short stories, which appeared in Henniker's 1896 In Scarlet and Grey: Stories of Soldiers and Others. Scholars have assumed that while Henniker did not reciprocate Hardy's feelings, she eagerly accepted his attention and help, but the first story of the collection, \"The Heart of the Colour Sergeant,\" together with thirty-five unpublished letters from Henniker to John Dillon, indicate that during the years of Hardy's most ardent interest in her, she was working through other interests — Dillon, in particular. Her letters to Dillon indicate that she not only became a serious student of Irish politics under his tutelage, but also, was tempted by the prospect of an exciting, deeply personal friendship. Dillon was a third party in the Hardy/Henn...","PeriodicalId":409771,"journal":{"name":"The Hardy Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131239737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Read literally, the statement “the letter killeth” amplifies Hardy's rebuke of the class prejudice that kills Jude's dream of university study by calling attention to the letter in which it is most nakedly expressed. Read allusively, the epigraph condemns the university's examination system and program of classical study, which discourage invention, creativity, and originality in favor of rote learning. Critics within and outside the university (including Ruskin) urged reform of this system. In The Stones of Venice, Ruskin examines the ideology that robs industrial workers and university students of the capacity for creative invention by demanding strict adherence to approved methods, and he employs the phrase “the letter killeth” to condemn it. Hardy knew The Stones of Venice well, and it is plausible that Ruskin informs his depiction of classical study.

Possibly the least known instrument found in Hardy's bands — if the most exotic — the serpent, its development and use in England in the early 19 th century, is of considerable interest to organologists and students of the west gallery musical tradition. Hardy's works that speak of the serpent shed light on a colourful corner of his writing and provide an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the instrument's role and sound in nineteenth century England.","PeriodicalId":409771,"journal":{"name":"The Hardy Review","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115172759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
