Profile

Thomas Hardy was an English novelist and poet who set much of his work in Wessex, his name for the counties of southwestern England. He initially pursued architecture, his father's work, but after finding success in his novel Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), he gave it up and wrote with abandon. His works ultimately question the Victorian status quo and asks what else would make more sense.
