by Lennart A。Bjork  \nThe Literaury Notebooksof Thomas Hlaurdy  \nVolume 2  \nTHE LITERARY NOTEBOOKS OFTHOMAS HARDY  \nVolume 2  \nThe Literary Notebooks of Thomas Hardy provide a major source ofinformation about what Hardy considered necessary or desirablereading for his craft.Compiled during more than fifty years(1876-1927)they show traces of having been reread and annotated by Hardy.And,as they incorporate materials from other notebooks,they repre-sent to some extent Hardy's own special selection from his voluminousnotetaking.  \nThe span of Hardy's entries in the Literary Notebooks is strikingboth in its chronological and broadly intellectual dimensions:theentries range from the Greek dramatists to George Bernard Shaw;fromthe radical French utopian Charles Fourier to Cardinal Newman;andfrom The Milliner and Dressmaker and Warehouseman's Gazette to Einstein.  \nThe Notebooks show how Hardy intensifies his determined prepara-tory studies in the mid-1870s;how keenly he follows the contemporarydebate over realism and other aesthetic questions;how he primeshimself in philosophical studies at the turn of the century for themetaphysical challenge of The Dynasts;and how he gradually becomesmore preoccupied with poetic matters while maintaining his lifelonginterest in religion and science.Thus the material presented hereconfirms,modifies and extends our knowledge of Hardy's intellectualbackground.In so doing,it also opens up avenues into nineteenth-century thought in general where Hardy is a compelling guide.  \nLennart Björk's carefully compiled edition provides identification ofsources and indicates how Hardy used his Notebooks both explicitlyand implicitly in his own writing.The annotations thus offer unusualand interesting glimpses into Hardy's workshop.With full critical andtextual introductions this two-volume work makes available for the firsttime the complete verbatim text of Hardy's Literary Notes.  \nThe editor  \nTHE LITERARY
