Thomas Hardy: The Time-torn Man by Claire Tomalin
"In November of 1912 an aging writer lost his wife. He was not expecting her to die, but then he had not been taking much notice of her for some time."
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 Charles Dickens: A Life, Thomas Hardy comes vividly alive. If you love his novels you will find this book an invaluable addition to your book collection.
