This is a short story written by Thomas Hardy was published in Wessex. This tells of a woman, a wife and a mother who aspires to be a poet and who falls in love with a male poet she never meets. As a Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, Thomas Hardy was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focused more on a declining rural society.

IF masculine and feminine comedy really differ, it may be in their attitudes towards youth. The imaginative woman of middle age, you may say, regrets and worships youth while the imaginative man of middle age regrets and laughs at it, or laughs at himself for regretting it. This is Leonard Merrick's dominating note, though sometimes his laughter is pretty plaintive. He himself has been, or was, for some time a "Conrad in quest of his youth." The theme echoes in several of the tales now collected in the new limited edition, under the title "The Man Who Understood Women." You hear it in the old actor's lament for his lost romance, with its mocking title, "A Very Good Thing For the Girl," in "The Woman Who Wished to Die," with its pair snatching belatedly at the joy of youth; in "The Child in the Garden," with its demure Victorian title and its impish flouting of the virtuous middle age. Queerly enough, in the last story of the lot (chronologically an early story perhaps?) Mr. Merrick lets himself handle precisely the "Conrad" material with something very much like Victorian sentiment. Here we have a gay, dreaming youth bending to the treadmill and becoming a man of acknowledged "success." At the moment when he has won general recognition as a great lawyer and a "dry stick," a relic of his youth turns up to mock him. Long ago in his stage-loving days he has written a farce -- accepted by a manager but never produced and almost forgotten. Now it is to be "put on" in the provinces, and the author, under his old pen-name, is invited to rehearsals. The upshot is a rebirth of the "Bob Lawless" whose shoes have been filled by that dry stick, Robert Blackstone, prominent member of the bar; and a "heart interest" which does not (as so often with this writer) crumble to dust in our hands. Of course he does not even here lapse into the grosser errors of the sentimental method. He does not try to make us believe the farce a masterpiece: "'No Flies on Flossie' tottered for six nights, died and was buried" sums up that work. Nor does he force Robert Blackstone, K. C., to throw up his job in order to make way for the cheerful "Bob." But his smile, as he tells his story, lacks the bitter (not embittered) quirk which may as much as anything have protected him from the embraces of a huge public. --Weekly Review, Vol. 1

A train screeches to a halt in the middle of the English countryside and, observed by her fascinated fellow travellers, a woman climbs down and rushes to the aid of a sheep, stranded on its back and unable to rise. Sylvester Weekes watches with interest and noticing, as she turns, that her face is full of tragedy, the woman's lonely image lodges in his mind. But he is not the only one to speculate over her actions - Maurice Benson, former private detective turned full-time birdwatcher, is convinced that the mysterious woman must be tracked down, in whatever way possible. This is a story rich in character and wit, and powerfully moving in its exploration of the heart's pain and deliverance. It is a tale of loss, of release, of an acceptance of the cruelties of fate and of the imaginative experience of love.

'I loved Orange World... a collection of short stories in which demons live in drains, bog women come back from the dead and trees can grow inside the human body' Daisy Johnson, New Statesman BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A rare combination of literary brilliance and unbridled entertainment' Mark Haddon These exuberant, unforgettable stories showcase Karen Russell's comedic and imaginative talent for creating outlandish predicaments that uncannily mirror our inner lives. In 'The Bad Graft', a couple on a road trip stop in Joshua Tree National Park, where the spirit of a giant tree accidentally infects the young woman, their fates becoming permanently entangled. In 'The Prospectors' two opportunistic young women fleeing the Depression strike out for new territory, but find themselves fighting for their lives. In the brilliant and hilarious title story a new mother desperate to ensure her baby's safety strikes a deal with the devil to protect her baby. Stories of survival, love and of surreal and magnificent transformation show Russell writing at exhilarating new heights. Praise for Orange World: 'The worlds of the stories are entirely convincing, small pockets in which it is possible to become lost' Guardian 'One of our most original short story writers... Russell has impeccable command of her form' New York Times Book Review
