Summary
Summary
Wessex Tales, a collection of short stories that includes “The Three Strangers,” “The Withered Arm,” and “The Distracted Preacher,” deals with a number of timeless themes seen so often in the work of Thomas Hardy: marriage, class, revenge, and disappointed love. Many of the tales have a supernatural tinge, and all are set around Hardy’s beloved homeland.
Author
Author Bio: Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy (1840–1928), English poet, dramatist, and novelist, was born on the Egdon Heath in Dorset. He studied in Dorchester and apprenticed to an architect before leaving for London, where he began to write. Unable to find a public for his poetry, which idealized the rural life, he turned to the novel and met with success as well as controversy. The strong public reaction against some of his darker themes turned him back to writing verse. Today several of his novels are considered masterpieces of tragedy.
