Novelist and poet Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 and died in 1928 in Dorset, England. While he published a good number of novels, most notably Far From the Madding Crowd and Tess of the d'Urbervilles, he saw himself primarily as a poet. After deeply critical reviews of Jude the Obscure, which questioned Victorian beliefs about marriage and was thus considered an immoral piece of work, Hardy turned to poetry exclusively.
