A believer and an unbeliever, a socialist and a snob, an unhappy husband and a desolate widower, Hardy challenged the sexual and religious conventions of his time in his novels and then abandoned fiction to reestablish himself as a great twentieth-century lyric poet. In this acclaimed new biography, Claire Tomalin, one of today's preeminent literary biographers, investigates this beloved writer and reveals a figure as rich and complex as his tremendous legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Claire Tomalin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52368815423770,"sku":"9781594201189","price":110.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2699\/9322\/files\/81dpMMtDBXL._SY522.jpg?v=1781761218","url":"https:\/\/medicampus.store\/products\/thomas-hardy","provider":"medicampus.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
