Trivia
British poet and novelist of the country genre (all set in Wessex), a master at regional dialect. He was initially trained as an architect and turned to full-time writing in 1867. He was a pessimist, taking a fairly grim view of life, often focusing on unhappiness, failure and unrequited love or passion.
