Wonderful video. I'm rereading some of his novels now. Just finished Return of the Native and have started The Woodlanders. I may reread Read next year (its been thirty!).
Such feelings of coziness, I would love to visit Bosnia the country of my birth place after relocating as a refugee to the US.. I miss having all the seasons and country side farming.. That place is so pretty and reminds me of Velka Kladusa, BiH 🇧🇦
Thank you for that interesting docu. Can you say who produced the music, please? It was just right, I felt, and did not intrude, as far too much of such music can do!
The writers look so ordinary and plain. Nice cottage. Strange to advise the children not to marry when she married even if pregnancy forced her to it. I don't read novels, and poetry bores me, but I have to say this was a nice biography of Mr. Hardy. My view is that the individuals should be forgotten and not memorialized, but their works are their legacy. Thomas Hardy's siblings never married or had children, and died in the house Thomas had built for them. Thomas burnt a lot of his letters and anything he thought would tarnish his literary legacy.
The divinely creative Thomas Hardy: truly one of the towering greats gifted to the world.
Bewitched with Hardy for more than a decade ever since I read Far from the madding Crowd at college in 2011. What a personality
Thanks for this wonderful documentary on my favourite author.
This is a precious documentary for a late beginner. I rediscover now in my later years and appreciate his work very much.
Love Thomas Hardy’s novels! This was a treat!
Any recommendations for a newbie?
Tess is my favorite

"Hardy was born in 1840". (1:46)
"The couple were married in 1839". (3:07)
They married in 1874, that is he and Emma.

Well do that. There is no war there now though the divisions between the Christians and Muslims remain.

We will try and find out for you. lad you enjoyed the program
Loving this series as a British expat living in Australia.reminds me that I still call Britain home ❤
Maybe you should get on a plane and go back to your home.
Very wonderful doc indeed❤
Life's Little Ironies is a collection of short stories he wrote -- not mentioned in the video.
Well you have to be concise in those biographies.
My favourite writer - a true genius.
I’m with #Leavis- #Tolstoy & #Dostoevsky are smarter than poor Mr Hardy.
@@aclark903Leavis. 😅😅😅Splenetic Cambridge Don venting his frustrations!
Absolutely. A great novelist and a great poet. Can't think of many of many English writers equally adept in both fiction and poetry.
@@silverghost5752 Hardy is too much of a pessimist to be truly great.
@@aclark903 I prefer Hardy's hardy pessimism to the jejune beef-and-ale optimism of many of his contemporaries.
