Abstract

Thomas Hardy was one of the most successful and significant writers in England during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Though his mother wanted him to pursue a career as an architect, Hardy gave up his position as a draughtsman while in his early twenties when he began to find more success as a writer. By his death at age 87, Hardy had published fourteen novels, several short stories and plays, and hundreds of poems.
