This biography presents a richer and more comprehensive account of Thomas Hardy's life than has previously been available, as well as a more complex, balanced, and sympathetic view of Hardy himself as man and as artist. Millgate has drawn extensively upon hitherto unknown materials, including diaries, notebooks, and letters to produce a combination of scholarly thoroughness and narrative clarity.
