Thomas Hardy


 

Thomas Hardy, OM (2 June, 184011 January, 1928) was a novelist and poet, generally regarded as among the greatest poets and novelists in English literature. The bulk of his work, set mainly in the semi-imaginary county of Wessex, is marked by imaginative poetic descriptions, and a foreboding sense of fatalism.
