Notes written in an attic: Emma Lavinia Hardy's autobiography
Keywords:
Thomas Hardy, Emma Lavinia Hardy, Autobiography, DiariesAbstract
In this study, we visit the diaries and the autobiography of the first wife of an illustrious English writer, Thomas Hardy. Emma Lavinia Hardy introduces us through her traveldiaries and her autobiography Some Recollections, written a year before her death, her vision on love, on the insecurities of a Victorian woman, on her mysticism full of syncretism, on her visits to the tombs of famous poets and other historical characters, and the power that music had in her union with Thomas Hardy. We follow her voice by using a view from the Analytical Psychology as well as the Autobiography Literature, highlighting the memoirs written in an attic where she spent the last years of her life, at a cottage in Dorset in England.
