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":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666174542112,"sku":"NEW0143112872","price":19.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Sbx-_8hfL.jpg?v=1778922899","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/thomas-hardy-0143112872","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
