Excès et sacré dans la littérature victorienne et édouardienne by Annie Escuret

“…Dickens seems to tower above his contemporaries with his unusual production and by creating excessive characters (like Miss Havisham). Unlike Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear who practised the art of controlled transgression, Hardy stands out as « Hardy the Degenerate » because he was bold enough to resort to blasphemy in his last novel Jude the Obscure. …”
