Biography
Thomas Hardy, OM (June 2, 1840 – January 11, 1928) was a British novelist, short story writer, and poet of the naturalist movement, who delineated characters struggling against their passions and circumstances. The bulk of his work, set mainly in the semi-imaginary county of Wessex, is marked by poetic descriptions, and fatalism. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas Hardy [Aug 2006]
