Thomas Hardy

Birth: 1840-06-02 , Dorchester

Death: 1928-01-11 , Dorchester

Thomas Hardy was a significant English novelist and poet, associated with the Naturalism literary movement. Though initially trained as an architect, his literary career spanned over four decades, producing novels like "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" and "Far from the Madding Crowd" that critically examined rural life, social constraints, and the harsh realities of fate. Later in life, he turned increasingly to poetry, which explored similar themes of loss, disillusionment, and the passage of time with a distinctive blend of modernism and traditional form.
