Abstract
T. Hardy’s short story «The Honourable Laura» from the collection «A Group of Noble Dames» is been analyzed as a kind of Christmas carol. The history of genre is been presented from its basics in Ch. Dickens creative works. Genre peculiarities (temporal marking, space location, the situation of breaking and rebirth, religious and symbolic aspects, happy end etc.) are combined with social topics and problems typical for Hardy’s short stories. Traditional Christmas carol has the marked situation of beginning and ending, leading to crucial changes or so called rebirth of the character. Hence an important component of short story is symbolism (sacred number 12, the names of the characters). Special attention is been payed to symbol of home and motive «the return to the natives» which both stand as remarkable features of Hardy’s creative works. The story’s plot (love story of a young inexperienced lady who is choosing between two men) is similar to other literal pieces in the collection. Tough it is among two stories with happy end. In such a way been a plot and compositional «frame» of the collection, the short story is a part of artistic and philosophical views of the writer.
