Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) was an English novelist and poet, known for his Victorian realist works set in the fictional Wessex region of southwest England, including novels like Far from the Madding Crowd, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure. A critic of Victorian society, particularly the decline of rural life, he initially trained as an architect before turning to writing, considering himself primarily a poet despite gaining fame through novels. His poetry, numbering over 900 pieces, was published starting in 1898.
