Beschreibung | Thomas Hardy OM (2. Juni 1840 - 11. Januar 1928) war ein englischer Romanautor und Dichter. Er war ein viktorianischer Realist in der Tradition von George Eliot und wurde sowohl in seinen Romanen als auch in seinen Gedichten von der Romantik beeinflusst, einschließlich der Poesie von William Wordsworth. Er äußerte sich sehr kritisch über vieles in der viktorianischen Gesellschaft, insbesondere über den sinkenden Status der Landbevölkerung in Großbritannien, z. B. in seiner Heimat Südwestengland. |
