Synopsis
'The hero, and all the heroines, are as inconsistent a set of beings as can well be conceived,'' said a Harper's Monthly reviewer of Hardy's The Well-Beloved (1892). It is a poignant story of a sculptor's search for the ideal woman. He falls successively in love with three women in the same family, each of a different generation grandmother, mother and daughter. ''Mr. Hardy has succeeded in depicting a curious and distinctive people and in portraying their strange beliefs in a singular way, no philosopher can deny.''

About the Author
Thomas Hardy was a poet and novelist of the naturalist movement. He trained as an architect. He was a religious man who was also deeply influenced by Darwin and fascinated by ghosts and spirits. During his lifetime, he was best known for his novels. His stories combine nuanced description of natural surroundings with the sense of impending moral crisis. He claimed that poetry was his first love, though, and in recent years his poetry has received much critical acclaim.
