Thomas Hardy: The Guarded Life by Ralph Pite
Challenges some of the views of Thomas Hardy - did he spend all his early life in preparation for his career as a writer, and did his novels really come a distant second to his poetry in his heart? By examining the relationships and contexts that shaped Hardy most, this work aims to reveal the personality and emotional life of a public figure.
Ralph Pite teaches English at Cardiff University. He has published a critical study of Hardy (Hardy's Geography, Palgrave, 2002), a book about Dante's influence on Romantic Poetry (The Circle of Our Vision, Oxford University Press,1994), and a biographical account of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Lives of the Great Romantics: Coleridge, Pickering & Chatto, 1997).
