"A Pair of Blue Eyes" is a novel by Thomas Hardy, published in 1873, which
revolves around a love triangle involving Elfride Swancourt and her two
suitors, Stephen Smith and Henry Knight. The story delves into Elfride's
internal conflict between her heart, mind, and societal expectations. The
novel's settings include gothic churches, coastal cliffs, and beaches. The
characters are portrayed with emotional depth, and the novel is noted for its
autobiographical elements related to Hardy's own life. Despite being
categorized as one of Hardy's minor works, the novel has received critical
acclaim for its complex characters and stirring plot. Notably, the scene in
which Henry Knight reviews the history of the world over a cliff is a focus of
literary criticism. The novel has been adapted into a BBC Radio 4 serial and
has been reviewed as a remarkable piece of literature. Additionally, there
were discussions about creating an opera based on the novel, but the project
was halted due to Hardy's death.
