Talk:Thomas Hardy

From Pee Review

Humour:	9	I don't hardly never give 9s for humour. But this is funny. This is funny. But see caveat in the endnotes.
Concept:	8	Well, we ought to have an article on Thomas Hardy. And it ought to be this very one, told in Hardy's Own Prose.
Prose and formatting:	9	Any overly-ornate constructions are Hardy's fault, and he's dead. So blame him.
Images:	8	Very appropriate for the subject.
Miscellaneous:	9	All I can do is quote Oscar: "I wish I had written that!"
Final Score:	43

Caveat: I have a personal bias in favor of articles like this. I love 'em. Another reviewer might not have given the same scores I did...but I think anyone must grant that this is a well-done piece and a gem in the crown of Uncyc. ----OEJ 15:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Cheers for the review. I figured it might be your kind of thing and I'm glad you liked it. I'd recently read a novel by Hardy and all his language was rattling about in my brain. I admired his techniques so much that I just had to ridicule them. It would certainly be interesting to see what someone who never read Hardy thinks of my scrawls. --Sir Hardwick Fundlebuggy - (Ring for service) 18:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Literary pain needs satirising. VFH now. - David Gerard 11:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I loved this article! A real tour-de-force capturing Hardy's style spot on! 82.232.111.204 20:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Frenchfried
