Subject: Can You Help?
   

I received this request for information  (in French)  this morning.  I have
a hunch that the writer is a student reading RN in translation.  I can't
think of where to send him for help with the allusions he refers to, and
apart from directing him to the TTHA NOVELs and LINKS pages I'm somewhat
stumped.  I don't Tthe writer is a not a list member, but I will forward
any responses to him.  Many thanks for your help.

Betty,

	You might refer M. Lequette to Marlene Springer's *Hardy's Use of
Allusion* (London: Macmillan, 1983) for some commentary on most of these
figures and ideas as they appear in RN.  Otherwise a good classical
dictionary or a well-annotated edition of the novel would help.  I can't
think of a Hardy-specific website--though there might be sites that would
help by offering background narratives to suggest how Hardy meant his
allusions to work.  

						cheers,

						Bill
