Thomas Hardy

    2 de junio de 1840 – 11 de enero de 1928

    Thomas Hardy fue un autor inglés reconocido por sus novelas, aunque se consideraba principalmente un poeta. Sus obras, ambientadas en gran parte en la región semi-ficticia de Wessex, a menudo exploran personajes que luchan contra sus pasiones y circunstancias. La poesía de Hardy, publicada más adelante en su vida, ha obtenido elogios comparables a los de sus novelas. También es conocido por popularizar el recurso literario del 'cliffhanger', que empleó literalmente en una de sus novelas.
