What is The psychology of Hardy's novels : the nervous and the statuesque about?

Thomas Hardy Has Remained A Curiously Marginal Figure In The History Of The Novel. Where He Has Been Discussed, It Has Usually Been In Terms Of His Pessimistic Wletanschauung, Its Relation To Rural Questions. The Truth Is That We Can Make Full Sense Of Hardy's Fiction Only When Its Consistent Psychological Methods And Structures Have Been Uncovered And Described. The Psychology Of Hardy's Novels Is An Attempt To Give A Full Initial Account Of These Methods And Structures. Part One: Beginnings -- The Concept Of Typology In Fiction -- The Early Hardy: Desperate Remedies (1871); A Pair Of Blue Eyes (1873) -- Under The Greenwood Tree (1872) -- A Reciprocity Of Influence. Minor Novels: The Hand Of Ethelberta (1876); A Laodicean (1881); Two On A Tower (1882) -- Part Two: The Pentagonal Novels -- Far From The Madding Crowd (1874) -- The Return Of The Native (1878) -- The Woodlanders (1887) -- Part Three: The Tragedies -- The Mayor Of Casterbridge (1886) -- Tess Of The D'urbervilles (1891) -- Jude The Obscure (1896) -- Part Four: The Philosophy Of Typology -- The Nervous And The Statuesque -- The Problem Of Pessimism.
