À propos de l'auteur

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet whose work is associated with late Victorian and early modern literature. His novels often explore the relationship between individual lives and the social and environmental forces that shape them, presenting characters whose aspirations come into conflict with established structures.Hardy's major works include Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd, and Jude the Obscure. His fiction is noted for its detailed settings, particularly in the fictional region of Wessex, and for its examination of class, education, and social constraint. Jude the Obscure, first published in 1895, stands among his most discussed works, reflecting both the literary concerns of its time and Hardy's broader perspective on society.
