Thomas Hardy by Claire Tomalin

Thomas Hardy by Claire Tomalin

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.

Claire Tomalin is a former literary editor of the New Statesman and the Sunday Times. She has written seven highly acclaimed literary biographies, all available in Penguin, and has won many prizes, including the Whitbread Book of the Year for Samuel Pepys. She is married to the novelist and playwright Michael Frayn.
