LoveReading Says

June 2014 Guest Editor Freya North on Thomas Hardy...

For me, no other writer so definitively captures both the beauty and challenges of Britain - its landscape, weather, village life versus city life and of course the class system.  But most of all I love the way that landscape is not merely a backdrop in Hardy's writing, but a leading character in it – something that has become a crucial element of my own writing.  I love the paintings of Millet – the unpatronizing dignity he imbued his scenes of rustic life.  This is so true of Hardy too and nowhere is this more compelling than in Tess of the D’Urbervilles - one of my all time favourite books.
