Synopses & Reviews
Few writers have captured the spirit of rural life and the majestic setting of an English landscape as brilliantly as Thomas Hardy, author of Far From the Madding Crowd and Tess of the d'Urbervilles. His books have inspired all generations since they were written and he remains one of the most popular of English novelists and poets. Today we can still walk in his world and, following his footsteps and those of his characters over windswept uplands and through quiet villages, we realize how little has changed since Hardy was born near Dorchester in 1840.
