THOMAS HARDY, whose writings immortalized the Wessexcountryside and dramatized his sense of the inevitable tragedy oflife, was born near Egdon Heath in Dorset in 1840, the eldest childof a prosperous stonemason. As a youth he trained as an architectand in 1862 obtained a post in London. During this time he beganseriously to write poetry, which remained his first literary loveand his last. In 1867-68, his first novel was refused publication,but Under the Greenwood Tree (1872), his first Wessex novel, didwell enough to convince him to continue writing. In 1874, Far fromthe Madding Crowd, published serially and anonymously in theCornhill Magazine, became a great success. Hardy married EmmaGifford in 1874, and in 1875 they settled at Max Gate inDorchester, where he lived the rest of his life. There he wrote TheReturn of the Native (1878), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tessof the d’Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). WithTess, Hardy clashed with the expectations of his audience; a stormof abuse broke over the “infidelity” and “obscenity” of this greatnovel he had subtitled “A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented.” Judethe Obscure aroused even greater indignation and was denounced aspornography. Hardy’s disgust at the reaction to Jude led him toannounce in 1896 that he would never write fiction again. Hepublished Wessex Poems in 1898, Poems of the Past and Present in1901, and from 1903 to 1908, The Dynasts, a huge drama in whichHardy’s conception of the Immanent Will, implicit in the tragicnovels, is most clearly stated. In 1912, Hardy’s wife, Emma, died.The marriage was childless and had long been a troubled one, but inthe years after her death, Hardy memorialized her in several poems.At seventy-four, he married his longtime secretary, FlorenceDugdale, herself a writer of children’s books and articles, withwhom he lived happily until his death in 1928. His heart was buriedin the Wessex countryside; his ashes were placed next to CharlesDickens’s in the Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey. Introduction
