"A masterful portrait" (The Philadelphia Inquirer) from a Whitbread
Award-winning biographer, and author of A Life of My Own. The
novels of Thomas Hardy have a permanent place on every booklover's
shelf, yet little is known about the interior life of the man who
wrote them. A believer and an unbeliever, a socialist and a snob,
an unhappy husband and a desolate widower, Hardy challenged the
sexual and religious conventions of his time in his novels and then
abandoned fiction to reestablish himself as a great
twentieth-century lyric poet. In this acclaimed new biography,
Claire Tomalin, one of today's preeminent literary biographers,
investigates this beloved writer and reveals a figure as rich and
complex as his tremendous legacy.
