Autorenporträt
Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) was an English novelist and poet, who is widely regarded as one of the seminal writers of the Victorian era. His work is characterized by a deep psychological insight, a keen observation of social strata, and a profound pessimism about human nature and the fate of humanity. Hardy's rural upbringing in Dorset provided the backdrop for much of his fiction, earning him the reputation of a regional novelist, while his sharp critique of social mores spoke to a universally human experience. 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman' (1891), one of his most famous novels, is a poignant exploration of issues such as societal hypocrisy, the inevitability of fate, and the struggles of individuals against an indifferent universe. Hardy's Tess is a landmark character in English literature, a woman whose purity and moral integrity are at odds with the judgement of the society in which she lives. This novel, alongside others like 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' (1886) and 'Jude the Obscure' (1895), helped cement Hardy's literary legacy. His novels and poetry—marked by a use of irony, naturalistic elements, and classical tragic structure—continue to be celebrated and analysed for their rich language, complex characters, and their exploration of the human condition.
