Discuss the importance of the novels of Thomas Hardy (1810–1928). -SST 10th

1 Answer

Answer :

 In the 19th century, most of the novel readers lived in cities. The novel connected them with the life and fate of rural communities. Thomas Hardy, an English novelist, wrote about the traditional rural communities of England who were affected by industrialisation. The old rural culture was vanishing due to machines used on land, and labourers brought to work the machines, and produce for the market. This change is reflected in many of Hardy’s novels, specially The Mayor of Casterbridge. He describes the problems and changes created by the new order, and he mourns the loss of the more personalised world.
