| Summary |
Publisher's description: A prolific novelist, poet, and correspondent, Thomas Hardy bridged the late Victorian period and the early modern age. He is best known for his novels of tragic intensity, works that have become the staple of high school and college literature courses: Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Far from the Madding Crowd, and The Return of the Native. Thomas Hardy A to Z combines insightful biographical details and scholarly and critical analysis of his works into one comprehensive volume. Appendixes listing information about media adaptations and translations of Hardy's works, a chronology of his writings, family trees, and a glossary of place names in Hardy's fiction greatly enhance the value of this encyclopedic reference. |
