Autorenporträt
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet renowned for his profound depictions of rural life and societal critique. Born in Dorset, he was deeply influenced by the Romantic movement, particularly the works of William Wordsworth. Hardy's writings often reflect his critical perspective on Victorian society, especially concerning the declining status of rural communities in Britain. Hardy's literary career includes notable novels such as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). These works are set in his fictional region of Wessex, a portrayal of rural southwest England. His narratives frequently explore themes of love, honor, betrayal, and the harsh realities of agrarian life during the Victorian era. In addition to his novels, Hardy was a prolific poet, with his poetry reflecting his deep connection to the natural world and his philosophical musings on human existence. Despite facing criticism for his unflinching portrayal of societal issues, his works have left a lasting impact on English literature. Hardy's legacy endures through his exploration of human nature and the complexities of social structures.
