The Later Years of Thomas Hardy, 1892-1928 (Cambridge Library Collection - Literary Studies)
The great English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) worked with his second wife, Florence, on this account of his life. It was published under her name, in two separate volumes, after his death. Its origins are as fascinating as the man himself: written in the third person, it was compiled from Hardy's selections from his diaries, notebooks and letters, typed up by Florence and further edited by her after he died. The work provides an invaluable, if idiosyncratic, record of Hardy's life...

The ultimate aim of the poet should be to touch our hearts by showing his own...
He himself said humorously in later times that he was a child till he was sixteen, a youth till he was five-and-twenty, and a young man till he was nearly fifty.
О знаменитой биографии Томаса Харди, изданной его второй женой Флоренс после смерти писателя под своим авторством, много спорили и до сих пор спорят исследователи литературы. На сегодняшний момент общепринято мнение, что писал биографию сам Харди, то есть диктовал своей жене и давал четкие указания по поводу того, как именно издать, какие отрывки из дневников и писем включить, и т.д.
Флоренс досталась не очень легкая роль молодой жены пожилого знаменитого писателя, но кажется их брак был счастливым. В любом случае, со своей задачей биографа она справилась прекрасно, книга очень интересная, информативная, и безусловно послужила основой для всех последующих биографий.Выдержки из дневников и писем, и прямая речь Харди особенно впечатлили.
He would be reading the Iliad, the Aeneid, or the Greek Testament from six to eight in the morning, would work at Gothic architecture all day, and then in the evening rush off with his fiddle under his arm, sometimes in the company of his father as first violin and uncle as 'cellist, to play country-dances, reels, and hornpipes at an agriculturist's wedding, christening, or Christmas party..
Romanticism will exist in human nature as long as human nature itself exists. The point is (in imaginative literature) to adopt that form of romanticism which is the mood of the age.
