 | | 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. |
 | | Hardy's poetry also explores a fatalist outlook against the dark, rugged landscape of his native Dorset. |
