Robert Gitting's two-volume biography of Thomas Hardy has been acclaimed as one of the century's major works, winning the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Prize of the Royal Society of Literature. 'The Gittings life...works for our view of Hardy much the same miracle as a restorer who, by removing several layers of varnish and overpainting, reveals to the light of day an almost entirely new picture. Here at last is a portrait of Hardy which rings true, recognizably the author of some of the most melancholy stories and poems in the English language--the wretched, deeply insecure man who, for fifty years, after having been estranged from his rustic roots and his youthful faith, wandered through an inward world in an ever increasing confusions of bitterness and despair, seeking a security, an innocence and a sense of "wholeness" which would never come again' --Spectator
