En este sentido, Michael Schmidt (1976: 36) nota afinidades entre Hardy y
Davie y escribe: “Davies peculiar relationship with his own and our common past,
and his explorations of it, are often like Hardy’s. While a poet such as Tennyson
idealises the past, Hardy again and again —in poems and novels— shows it as
unrealised. A wrong turn, and oversight, blight life permanently”. En Davie, como
en Hardy, “loss” es uno de sus temas. Sin embargo, para Schmidt (1976: 38)
“Hardys pessimism is essentially psychological. Davies seems to me social”.
