9780313333965 / Student Companion to Thomas Hardy (Student Companions to Classic Writers) 0th Edition
by Greenwood; 0 edition (December 30, 2006) (Author)
In the mid- late 1800s and early 1900s, Thomas Hardy produced a plethora of eclectic works that were considered too candid and even sacrilegious for their time. Hardy’s publishing of fiction, drama, poetry, and the short story ranks him with Shakespeare, one of few other authors in the English language to write major works in more than one literary genre. Growing up, Hardy apprenticed as an architect but soon realized his true calling was writing. He based much of his work on his homeland and local culture in England, creating the fictional county of Wessex, the setting for most of his works. This companion explores the life of Hardy, examining his career and most important works. Ideal for high school and undergraduate students, as well as readers with a general interest in Hardy’s life and works, this book takes a close look at Hardy’s unconventional works and why he ultimately decided to abandon novel-writing in favor of his first love-poetry.
