Thomas Hardy is the acclaimed biography by bestselling author
Claire Tomalin 'An extraordinary story, beautifully told. Tomalin
is the most empathetic of biographers' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
Paradox ruled Thomas Hardy's life. His birth was almost his death;
he became one of the great Victorian novelists and reinvented
himself as one of the twentieth-century's greatest poets; he was an
unhappy husband and a desolate widower; he wrote bitter attacks on
the English class system yet prized the friendship of aristocrats.
In the hands of Whitbread Award-winning biographer Claire Tomalin,
author of the bestselling books Charles Dickens: A Life and The
Invisible Woman, Thomas Hardy the novelist, poet, neglectful
husband and mourning lover all come vividly alive. 'Another triumph
for a biographer who goes from strength to strength' Melvyn Bragg,
Guardian, Books of the Year 'Tomalin provides an object lesson in
how to write a life' Economist 'A moving story, and Tomalin tells
it vividly, with as great a fund of sympathy and sense, as can be
imagined' Daily Telegraph 'Skilful and absorbing, admirable. The
most compelling of life stories' Daily Telegraph 'Hardy emerges as
a man full of spirit and gaiety' Sunday Times Claire Tomalin is the
award-winning author of eight highly acclaimed biographies,
including: The Life and Death of Mary Wollstonecraft; Shelley and
His World; Katherine Mansfield: A Secret Life; The Invisible Woman:
The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens; Mrs Jordan's
Profession; Jane Austen: A Life; Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self;
Thomas Hardy: The Time-Torn Man and, most recently, Charles
Dickens: A Life. A former literary editor of the New Statesman and
