Hardy Landscapes - Tapa dura

A portrait of the part of England where Thomas Hardy was born and where he set so many of his best-loved novels, short stories and poems. Published to coincide with celebrations commemorating the 150th anniversary of Hardy's birth, this book contains reproductions of paintings which not only capture the spirit of the countryside that Hardy knew, loved and described so memorably, but also reflect the passion of a lifetime on the part of the artist.
