Upon reading it appears to be possible treatment for a film scenario. It certainly has epic scope. I think that film history courses might have some fun dealing with this 1904 composition. Hardy called a verse drama for the stage. It would still make a terribly expensive movie. I've read it thrice. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: In this epic historical drama in verse form, Thomas Hardy brings the same level of realism and gritty detail to a poetic retelling of the Napoleonic Wars that he honed in novels such as Far From the Madding Crowd and Jude the Obscure. Hardy himself considered The Dynasts to be his masterpiece, and though critical response was initially lukewarm, modern-day readers and critics have come to appreciate the vast scope and literary innovation of this ambitious work. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

For whatever reason, this work isn't as respected in the Hardy canon as it ought to be. Granted that it's unproducible as a play, but neither is Samson Agonistes, and The Dynasts has a very modernist feel to it if read as an "art house" film script. Just don't try reading this straight through or it will become overwhelming. It's in three parts consisting, all told, of nineteen acts (plus a fore act and an after act), so take it an act or two at a time since each act really does break down into a fairly distinct chapter.
