關於作者
Thomas Hardy was an English author and poet whose writing style incorporated elements of both realism and Romanticism. His works often examined class differences, socioeconomic status, and religion through a critical lens. Hardy was best known for his novels, including The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure, but preferred to regard himself primarily as a poet and not a novelist.
