托马斯哈代的《无名的裘德》（1895）谴责了维多利亚时代的精英和难以接近的高等教育体系。虽然小说对19世纪90年代社会和政治话语的影响是众所周知的，但它随后在20世纪和21世纪关于大学入学的辩论中的出现仍然不太为人所知。本文中考虑的四个非文学文本唤起了无名的裘德，以突出他们自己的时代高等教育的特定方面。他们以完全不同的方式理解裘德，将哈代的性格与大学的进步或保守观念联系起来。本文最后考虑了最近的事态发展，获得高等教育。它表明，《无名的裘德》的持续及时性来自于它对一系列尚未解决的问题的富有想象力的唤起。
Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure (1895) condemns an elite and inaccessible system of Victorian higher education. While the influence of the novel on the social and political discourses of the 1890s is well known, its subsequent appearance in twentieth- and twenty-first-century debates on university access remains less recognised. The four non-literary texts considered in this essay evoke Jude the Obscure in order to highlight particular aspects of higher education in their own time. They understand Jude in radically different ways, associating Hardy’s character with either progressive or conservative conceptions of universities. This essay ends by considering recent developments surrounding access to higher education. It suggests that the continuing timeliness of Jude the Obscure comes from its imaginative evocation of a set of problems that remain unsolved.
