About this ebook
Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 in Dorchester, Dorset. He enrolled as a student in King’s College, London, but never felt at ease there, seeing himself as socially inferior. This preoccupation with society, particularly the declining rural society, featured heavily in Hardy’s novels, with many of his stories set in the fictional county of Wessex. Since his death in 1928, Hardy has been recognised as a significant poet, influencing The Movement poets in the 1950s and 1960s.

Reviews for Desperate Remedies (Golden Deer Classics)
80 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5“Desperate Remedies” differs greatly from all other works by Thomas Hardy. This is his attempt at "the sensational novel", and I for one feel he succeeds well.While Hardy’s genius isn’t at its greatest here, he still delivers a quality narrative with plenty of engaging scenes and an interesting plot.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A late 1800's English countryside romance of sorts that is chock-full of curious mysteries that kept me in the dark until clarified at the end. And this book has deceit, death, bigamy, murder, suicide, and of course, the big country manor house. Slightly convoluted with a full slate of remarkable coincidences, but interesting enough that i was eager for the end to answer all my questions. Better than i expected.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kindle - Hardy CollectionHis first book, and so first in Ali's reading challenge book group reads. A real pot-boiler with hidden wives and lost letters, reminiscent of "The Woman in White" and the racier Francis Brett Youngs, and with distinct touches of the Gothic. But it does also iinclude some lovely descriptive and nature writing that we'll see blossom later on.
