Thomas Hardy - 2024 ARCADIA

Question

A digressive passage by a novel’s narrator claims that this author was “the first to try to break the Victorian middle-class seal over the supposed Pandora’s box of sex.” For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this author, whose affair with his cousin Tryphena is recounted in John Fowles’ novel The French Lieutenant’s Woman. The narrator suggests that this author tacitly dedicated his novel Jude the Obscure to Tryphena.

ANSWER: Thomas Hardy

[10m] The narrator of The French Lieutenant’s Woman later didactically quotes a passage from this long Victorian-era poem, which describes nature as “red in tooth and claw.”

ANSWER: “In Memoriam A.H.H.” (by Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

[10h] The French Lieutenant’s Woman ends by describing an “unplumb’d, salt, estranging sea,” quoting a poem addressed to this woman that notes “we mortal millions live alone.” This woman is the addressee of “Isolation.”

ANSWER: Marguerite (Both poems are by Matthew Arnold.)
