Author

Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) gave English literature its most unforgettable tragic landscapes — the imagined county of Wessex, where heath, village, and market town hold the fate of ordinary lives. In Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure, The Mayor of Casterbridge, and Far from the Madding Crowd, he wrote characters undone by chance, desire, and the hard edges of Victorian society.
