Über den Autor
Thomas Hardy was born on June 2, 1840, in Higher Bockhampton, England. The eldest child of Thomas and Jemima, Hardy studied Latin, French, and architecture in school. He also became an avid reader. Upon graduation, Hardy traveled to London to work as an architect's assistant under the guidance of mehr anzeigen Arthur Bloomfield. He also began writing poetry. How I Built Myself a House, Hardy's first professional article, was published in 1865. Two years later, while still working in the architecture field, Hardy wrote the unpublished novel The Poor Man and the Lady. During the next five years, Hardy penned Desperate Remedies, Under the Greenwood Tree, and A Pair of Blue Eyes. In 1873, Hardy decided it was time to relinquish his architecture career and concentrate on writing full-time. In September 1874, his first book as a full-time author, Far from the Madding Crowd, appeared serially. After publishing more than two dozen novels, one of the last being Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Hardy returned to writing poetry--his first love. Hardy's volumes of poetry include Poems of the Past and Present, The Dynasts: Part One, Two, and Three, Time's Laughingstocks, and The Famous Tragedy of the Queen of Cornwall. From 1833 until his death, Hardy lived in Dorchester, England. His house, Max Gate, was designed by Hardy, who also supervised its construction. Hardy died on January 11, 1928. His ashes are buried in Poet's Corner at Westminster Abbey. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

- Thomas Hardy (2 June 1840 – 11 January 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, including the poetry of 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.
While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, he gained fame as the author of novels such as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). During his lifetime, Hardy's poetry was acclaimed by younger poets (particularly the Georgians) who viewed him as a mentor. After his death his poems were lauded by Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden and Philip Larkin.
Many of his novels concern tragic characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances, and they are often set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex; initially based on the medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom, Hardy's Wessex eventually came to include the counties of Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, Hampshire and much of Berkshire, in southwest and south central England. Two of his novels, Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd, were listed in the top 50 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.

Schwächen hingegen weist der Handlungsverlauf auf: Zu gekünstelt wirken die Wendungen, fast schon wie eine Seifenoper aus frühviktorianischer Zeit. Einerseits gelingt es Hardy dadurch zwar, eine stete Spannung aufzubauen und den Leser zu fesseln, andererseits verprellt er diesen auch durch allzu seichte und durchschaubare Handlungsknicke.
Erwähnenswert ist auch das Glossar der Ausgabe, dass in lobenswerter Weise die zahlreichen Anspielungen Hardys auf die Literatur- und Kunstgeschichte sowie das alte Testament erläutert. In völlig unverständlicherweise Weise und entgegen der ansonsten tadellosen Übersetzung und der erwähnten Erläuterungen bleibt hingegen eines des Schlüsselereignisse des Romans, eine Schandparade zur öffentlichen Demütigung zweier Hauptprotagonisten, nicht nur unerläutert sondern auch unübersetzt ("Skimmity" bzw "Skimmington-Ritt"), was den grundsätzlich ausgezeichneten Eindruck, den die vorliegende Ausgabe macht, deutlich schmälert.… (mehr)
