The definitive Hardy biography for the 21st century
KEY FEATURES:
* The world's leading Hardy scholar adds 20 years' worth of new research to his classic biography
* A richly detailed account of every aspect of Hardy's path from humble beginnings to international fame
* Full of new insights into Hardy's writing, his private life, and his two marriages
* Hardy's popularity remains as great as ever; this book will be essential reading for his devotees
DESCRIPTION:
Michael Millgate's classic biography of Thomas Hardy, great novelist and poet, was first published in 1982. A huge amount of new information about Hardy has since become available, much of it in volumes edited or co-edited by Millgate himself, and many established assumptions have been challenged and revolutionized by scholarly research. In this extensively revised, fully reconsidered, and considerably-expanded new edition Millgate draws not only upon these new materials but also upon an exceptional understanding of Hardy gained from long immersion in the study of his life and work.
Many large and small aspects of Hardy's life are here freshly illuminated, including his family background, his fumbling self-education as a poet, his difficult relations with his first wife and hers with his family, his sexual infatuations, his secret collaborations with aspiring women writers, his clandestine composition of his own official biography, and the memory-invoking techniques by which he sustained his remarkable creativity into extreme old age. Thorough, authoritative and eminently readable, Thomas Hardy: A Biography Revisited will become the standard life of Hardy for a new generation.
