Thomas Hardy: Fate, Exclusion and Tragedy

Hardy is not the man he appears to be.

A portrait of the British writer Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), who, although he had radical instincts, hated hypocrisy, was of great poetic brilliance, had a tragic perception of life and a calm outward appearance, was at heart a man of seething and somber darkness.
