Mass Market Paperback. Condizione: Good. 464 pages. Cover wornThe setting is gentler than in some of H ardy's novels, but the story is similar - thwarted love and ruine d lives. Editorial Reviews About the Author Thomas Hardy was bo rn on June 2, 1840. In his writing, he immortalized the site of h is birth-Egdon Heath, in Dorset, near Dorchester. Delicate as a c hild, he was taught at home by his mother before he attended gram mar school. At sixteen, Hardy was apprenticed to an architect, an d for many years, architecture was his profession; in his spare t ime, he pursued his first and last literary love, poetry. Finally convinced that he could earn his living as an author, he retired from architecture, married, and devoted himself to writing. An e xtremely productive novelist, Hardy published an important book e very year or two. In 1896, disturbed by the public outcry over th e unconventional subjects of his two greatest novels-Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure-he announced that he was givin g up fiction and afterward produced only poetry. In later years, he received many honors. He died on January 11, 1928, and was bur ied in Poet's Corner, in Westminster Abbey. It was as a poet that he wished to be remembered, but today critics regard his novels as his most memorable contribution to English literature for thei r psychological insight, decisive delineation of character, and p rofound presentation of tragedy.
