Thomas Hardy was one of the greatest Victorian novelists and twentieth-century poets, exploring themes of the human experience and challenging sexual and religious conventions in a way that few other books of his time did. Collected here in this mini compact tome are comprehensive plot summaries and character profiles from each of his fourteen novels, complemented by two-color illustrations throughout.
