Date: Mon, 03 Mar 2003 09:16:10 - From: Robert Schweik <schweik@fredonia.edu> Subject: Lund Studies Inquiry The TTHA Checklist for 2002 includes the following citation: Mattisson, Jane. *Knowledge and Survival in the Novels of Thomas Hardy* Lund Studies in English 101. Lund: Lund University Press, 2002. I know the book exists. Fordham University Library owns a copy. But I've had no luck at all in getting an interlibrary loan copy so that I can annotate the presently bare-bones citation in the Checklist. Lund University Press does not have a web page with its catalogue listings--which might have provided a table of contents. I can write, of course, directly to Lund, but I wondered if someone on the Hardy-L list might have access to the publication and could supply me with a description of its contents. Many thanks!

| Subject: "The Blinded Bird" Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 15:46:15 -0600 From: "Mink, Joanna" <joanna.mink@mnsu.edu> A couple of weeks ago, I taught Hardy's "The Blinded Bird" (CP 375) alongside Paul Laurence Dunbar's "Sympathy" (I know what the caged bird feels) to make some comments about their use of imagery. However, from scanning both poems, the similarity in rhyme scheme is so apparent that I wonder if there's a closer connection. Dunbar's poem was published in 1895 in a collection called _Majors and Minors_ and TH's in 1917 in _Moments of Vision_. I wonder if TH was in some conscious way presenting a variation on Dunbar's poem. My specific question is--Would TH have been aware of _Majors and Minors_? To what extent would Dunbar have been known in Britain? I've done a search in the obvious places--MLA Bibliography, the TTHA's site--plus looking in _The Life_ and Millgate's biography, but haven't found anything. So, I turn to the collective wisdom of the Forum. Is there some obvious source which I have missed? I seem to recall that "The Blinded Bird" was discussed on Bill Morgan's Poetry Page but can't find that discussion, if indeed it occurred. JoAnna S.
