I'm looking for a Thomas Hardy novel that most deals with being part of a long human history (if that makes sense).

I've noticed the theme in the little Hardy that I have read and I'd like to know: In which novel is this theme most obvious?

How does one check objectively if one's writing work is good and not just pretentious?

What's the recommended reading order for Gass/Gaddis/McElroy/et. al? I was exhausted by McElroy's "Night Soul and Other Stories" but want to get into more difficult lit (interspersing them into my regular queue).

Get feedback from people who don't know you (and who you don't know) personally. Bonus points if you've read other criticism they've written that you respect. Get a lot of that feedback to diversify opinions and form a consensus.

lots of hardy is like this. hardy lived in a time of great changes- the industrialisation of agriculture, the coming of the railways etc- and it found its way into his writing

the most obvious example that i can think of quickly is in tess. the durbyfield family are led to believe they are the vestigial descendants of a long line of aristocrats, the d'urbervilles, and tess' dad becomes obsessed with the idea until he sends tess off to their ancestral pile where unpleasantness ensues

What are some short stories or books that successfully (meaning either "accurately" or "interestingly") capture dream-logic? Where the events described are unexplained or don't make sense, but the characters or emotional thrust stays intact.
