作者简介
Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) stands as a towering figure in English literature, known for his profound contributions to the Victorian realist tradition. Born in Dorset, England, Hardy crafted novels and poetry that vividly depicted the rural landscape and the life of its inhabitants, often with a tragic and philosophical depth. Among his notable works, 'Far from the Madding Crowd' (1874) is celebrated for its exploration of love, honor, and betrayal, set against the pastoral backdrop of Wessex—a semi-fictional region based on the English countryside that Hardy knew intimately. The novel's compelling narrative and complex characters, like the headstrong Bathsheba Everdene and the stoic Gabriel Oak, have cemented its place in the canon of English literature (Hardy, 1874). Hardy's literary style is characterized by his descriptive prowess, psychological insight, and a pervasive sense of fate's inexorable force. His other prestigious works include 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' (1891) and 'Jude the Obscure' (1895), both of which further elaborate his thematic concerns with societal constraints and individual desire. As a poet, Hardy also made significant contributions, with collections such as 'Wessex Poems' (1898) reflecting a similar thematic and stylistic continuity with his prose. Today, Hardy's works continue to be widely read and studied for their artistry and their insightful commentary on the human condition.
