Selected Short Stories of Thomas Hardy - Little Scholarz Classic

In dieser Ausgabe

Thomas Hardy (2 June 1840 - 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. While his works typically belong to the Naturalism movement, several poems display elements of the previous Romantic and Enlightenment periods of literature, such as his fascination with the supernatural.
While he regarded himself primarily as a poet who composed novels mainly for financial gain, he became and continues to be widely regarded for his novels, such as Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd. The bulk of his fictional works, initially published as serials in magazines, were set in the semi-fictional land of Wessex (based on the Dorchester region where he grew up) and explored tragic characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances. An additional short-story collection, beyond the ones mentioned above is, A Changed Man and Other Tales published in 1913.
