A Pair of Blue Eyes -- Adobe PDF ebook. Thomas Hardy’s classic work. |
|
|
| The following chapters were written at a time when the craze for indiscriminate church-restoration had just reached the remotest nooks of western England, where the wild and tragic features of the coast had long combined in perfect harmony with the crude Gothic Art of the ecclesiastical buildings scattered along it, throwing into extraordinary discord all architectural attempts at newness there. To restore the grey carcases of a mediaevalism whose spirit had fled, seemed a not less incongruous act than to set about renovating the adjoining crags themselves. Hence it happened that an imaginary history of three human hearts, whose emotions were not without correspondence with these material circumstances, found in the ordinary incidents of such church-renovations a fitting frame for its presentation. |

Elfride Swancourt is a rector's daughter who becomes entangled romantically with two men. Hardy's third book, A Pair of Blue Eyes is based on his own experiences as a young architect in Cornwall, where he met his future wife. |
