Thomas Hardy- a pessimist?
Posted: 18 Jul 2014, 03:15
I have read quite a few of Hardy's novels and liked them. My most recent is 'The Mayor of Casterbridge.' I felt the element of subdued happiness at the end of his stories make it more realistic though he is often claimed to be a pessimistic writer.
