The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), subtitled "The Life and Death of
a Man of Character," is a tragic novel by British author Thomas
Hardy. It is set in the fictional town of Casterbridge (based on
the town of Dorchester in Dorset). The book is one of Hardy's
Wessex novels, all set in a fictional rustic England. The novel is
often considered one of Hardy's greatest works. Thomas Hardy (2
June 1840 - 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A
Victorian realist, in the tradition of George Eliot, he was also
influenced both in his novels and poetry by Romanticism, especially
by William Wordsworth. Charles Dickens is another important
influence on Thomas Hardy. Like Dickens, he was also highly
critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focused more on
a declining rural society.
