 Hardy, Thomas. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Hardy’s vision reflects a world in which Victorian complacencies were dying but its moralism was not, and in which science had eliminated the comforting certainties of religion.
Hardy’s novels are all set against the bleak and forbidding Dorset landscape (referred to as Wessex in the novels), whose physical harshness echoes that of an indifferent, if not malevolent, universe.
Hardy could not afford to pursue a scholarly career as he wished and was apprenticed to John Hicks, a local church architect.

 Hardy
It was a collaboration in which Hardy acknowledged Littlewood's greater technical mathematical skills, but at the same time Hardy brought great talents of mathematical insight and a great ability to write their work up in papers with great clarity.
A major change in Hardy's work came about in 1911 when he began his collaboration with J E Littlewood which was to last 35 years.
Hardy did not appear to have the passion for mathematics that many mathematicians experience when young.

 Shannon Rogers
Hardy had made this very point himself earlier in the novel, remarking that "the personal charms which Tess could boast of were in main part her mother's gift, and therefore unknightly, unhistorical," (31) and Joan even remarks to her husband that Tess's trump card is her face, not her ancestry (64).
Hardy later remarks that "women whose chief companions are the forms and forces of outdoor Nature retain in their souls far more of the Pagan fantasy" (120).
Hardy's implicit point is that, had Tess the money to stand out from the crowd, she could.

 Thomas Hardy: Political Reformer
Hardy was appointed as treasurer and secretary of the organisation.
The poor case against Hardy, and the death of his wife had created a great deal of public sympathy for the shoemaker and a large crowd was waiting outside the Old Bailey.
Thomas Hardy later wrote that he now knew that the men in the House of Commons were "falsely calling themselves the representatives of the people, but who were, in fact, selected by a comparatively few individuals, who preferred their own particular aggrandisement to the general interest of the community."

 Thomas Hardy biography
Hardy was frail as a child, and did not start at the village school until he was eight years old.
Hardy himself was bemused by the reaction his book caused, and he turned away from writing fiction with some disgust.
For the rest of his life Hardy focussed on poetry, producing several collections, including

 The James D. Hardy Archives
Hardy and his team transplanted the heart of a chimpanzee--man's closest genetic relation--into the chest of a dying man. The world's first heart transplanted into man beat 90 minutes before it stopped.
By 1966, Dr. Hardy says, the American public showed a major shift in perception, and the notion of the heart as a pump began to hold sway over the idea of the heart as the seat of the soul.
Hardy's paper on the subject appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association which described the strict ethical guidelines his team had followed in evaluating both donor and recipient.

 GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Biography of Thomas Hardy
Between his parents, Hardy gained all the interests that would appear in his novels and his own life: his love for architecture and music, his interest in the lifestyles of the country folk, and his passion for all sorts of literature.
However, despite the praise Hardy's fiction received, many critics also found his works to be too shocking, especially Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure.
Like Dickens, Hardy's novels were published in serial forms in magazines that were popular in both England and America.

 Thomas Hardy, Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Human morality and the laws of Nature, by Ian Mackean
In the scene of Tess's seduction Hardy avoids examining to what extent she was compliant, though by reference to the 'primeval yews', 'roosting birds', and 'hopping rabbits' (p.107) he stresses the naturalness of the event.
Hardy looks very closely at this feeling of guilt and suggests that it is unnecessary for a number of reasons.
He is of course not a d'Urberville at all, and Hardy depicts his house in a way which highlights its modernity, and its disharmony with the natural and ancient surroundings.

 Hardy and the Creation of Wessex
For this reason, when we read Hardy's complete works, we get the sense of a fully-laid out plan, of a fictional universe which was created whole and into which the various characters and their stories merely had to be inserted.
So Hardy was creating his own microcosm, a dream world which, among the educated middle classes for whom he was writing, might just as well have been on the moon.
When Hardy's novels were first published in a uniform edition, in the 1890's, the title given to the series was "The Wessex Novels".

Hardy's poetry also explores a fatalist outlook against the dark, rugged landscape of his native Dorset.
An English novelist and poet of the naturalist movement, who powerfully delineated characters, portrayed in his native Dorset, struggling helplessly against their passions and external circumstances, Hardy was born in Higher Bockhampton, Dorsetshire, June 2, 1840, and educated in local schools and later privately.
A Hardy "lifeline" can be found through the Thoms Hardy Resource Library or through the Thomas Hardy Association.

 Hardy, Godfrey Harold --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Hardy graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1899, became a fellow at Trinity in 1900, and lectured there in mathematics from 1906 to 1919.
In 1908, Godfrey Harold Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg independently formulated a theorem that became the foundation of population genetics.
He played the menacing “heavy” role in many of his early motion pictures, but the tall and bulky Oliver Hardy was to gain lasting fame as a fumbling, bumbling comedian.

Hardy’s verse is spare, unadorned, and unromantic, and its pervasive theme is man’s futile struggle against cosmic forces.

Like many of his novels, these 51 poems are set against the bleak and forbidding Dorset landscape, whose physical harshness echoes that of an indifferent, if not malevolent, universe.

 Amazon.com: Books: Far from the Madding Crowd (Modern Library Classics)
Hardy's classic style is a pleasure to read as he masterfully brings his characters and their dealings to life.
Hardy has a powerful understanding of human nature and makes each of the characters both deep and broad, both simple and complex, both good and filled with fault.
Hardy is not my favorite author by any stretch of the imagination, but this is a work of beauty.

 Francoise Hardy Discography (Slipcue e-Zine French Pop guide)
Hardy wrote only about half the songs on here, but all the music is in keeping with her personal style.
Besides being incredibly cool, Hardy is notable for being the first French "girl" singer to write and record her own songs, rather than music given to her by a producer.
One of the most striking French singers of the 1960s, Francoise Hardy is considered part of the bubblegummy ye-ye scene, though her moody, elegant records are not as bouncy or perky as the more prefab female singers, such as France Gall or Brigitte Bardot.
