His own diligent efforts to guard his privacy making bonfires of his papers, ghost-writing his own biography to be published after his death have obscured many aspects of the author's personal life. This book, the first major biography of Hardy in decades, draws on new & extensive archival research to present a more complex picture of Hardy than has been possible to date. Ralph Pite investigates the validity of long-accepted views of the author: Was his early life devoted to his preparation for becoming a writer? Did his first wife, Emma, trick him into an unwanted marriage? Was his poetry far dearer to his heart than the novels? And was Florence, his second wife, as conflicted & passionate as caricatures have suggested? Pite examines the relationships & contexts that shaped Hardy most--the women in his life, his friends & mentors, social & family pressures, career structures of his day, the Devonshire landscape--& offers new insight into the man who, until now, was hidden behind an opaque public image he helped to create. * HIGH PRAISE: "Pite challenges old verities about Hardy's life & refuses to pigeon-hole his subject. A very full & thoughtful account." -Tim Kendall, University of Exeter * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: RALPH PITE is professor of English at Cardiff University, Wales. His previous books include "The Circle of Our Vision: Dante's Presence in English Romantic Poetry", and "Hardy's Geography: Wessex and the Regional Novel". * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
