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":52285192405280,"sku":"NEW1594201188","price":46.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/4122M1ARTML.jpg?v=1788175961","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/thomas-hardy-1594201188","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
