Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proverbial phrase 'life's little ironies' was coined by Hardy for his third volume of short stories. These tales and sketches possess all the power of his novels: the wealth of description, the realistic portrayal of the quaint lore of Wessex, the 'Chaucerian' humour and characterisation, the shrewd and critical psychology, the poignant estimate of human nature and the brooding sense of wonder at the essential mystery of life.

Book excerpt: Life's Little Ironies: A Few Crusted Characters by Thomas Hardy, 1894."To the eyes of a man viewing it from behind, the nut-brown hair was a wonder and a mystery.Under the black beaver hat, surmounted by its tuft of black feathers, the long locks, braided and twisted andcoiled like the rushes of a basket, composed a rare, if some-what barbaric, example of ingenious art.One could understand such weavings and coilings being wrought to last intact for a year, or even a calendar month;but that they should be all demolished regularly at bedtime, after a single day of permanence, seemed a reckless wasteof successful fabrication."And she had done it all herself, poor thing. She had no maid, and it was almost the only accomplishment she could boast of. Hence the unstinted pains."Thomas Hardy (1840 - 1928) was an English novelist and poet. AVictorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influencedboth in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, especially WilliamWordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society,especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain, such asthose from his native South West England.Many of his novels concern tragic characters struggling against theirpassions and social circumstances, and they are often set in thesemi-fictional region of Wessex; initially based on the medievalAnglo-Saxon kingdom, Hardy's Wessex eventually came to include thecounties of Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, Hampshire and much ofBerkshire, in southwest and south central England.

Thomas Hardy, OM (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, especially William Wordsworth.[1] Charles Dickens was another important influence.[2][page needed] Like Dickens, he was highly critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focused more on a declining rural society. While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, therefore, he gained fame as the author of novels, including Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). Hardy's poetry, though prolific, was not as well received during his lifetime. It was rediscovered in the 1950s, when Hardy's poetry had a significant influence on the Movement poets of the 1950s and 1960s, including Philip Larkin.Most of his fictional works - initially published as serials in magazines - were set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex. They explored tragic characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances. Hardy's Wessex is based on the medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom and eventually came to include the counties of Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, Hampshire and much of Berkshire, in southwest and south central England.
