More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"A splendid biography....Millgate is the kind of biographer writers dream of. He gives us all the necessary details, but none of the gratuitous ones. While he doesn't attempt to psychoanalyze Hardy, he gets as close to him as he can by legitimate means."--The New York Times
"It is likely to be the biography of choice for ordinary readers who require only one life of Hardy....Millgate also does more...than anyone writing about Hardy previously has done to suggest possible answers to the primary question of what sustained this writer whose reputation is growing steadily again now after a period of decline."--The Yale Review

Product Description
This biography presents a richer and more comprehensive account of Thomas Hardy's life than has previously been available, as well as a more complex, balanced, and sympathetic view of Hardy himself as man and as artist. Millgate has drawn extensively upon hitherto unknown materials, including diaries, notebooks, and letters to produce a combination of scholarly thoroughness and narrative clarity.

A Volume Not To Be Missed
30 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
This is not a volume to be passed over. Although Millgate doesn't detail the expansions and revisions to his acclaimed biography of 1982, his learning, refinements, and discriminations make this a new work. Its like will not be found over any horizon you may be looking for--anytime soon.
