The Complete Novels of Thomas Hardy contains all 15 classics of this great Victorian author. His novels mainly concern tragic characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances, and they are often set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex, based on the medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom.
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, especially William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain, such as those from his native South West England.
His most famous novels include Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd and Jude the Obscure.
