Media Reviews
A splendid biography....Millgate is the kind of biographer writers dream of. He gives us all the necessary details, but none of the gratuitous ones. While he doesn't attempt to psychoanalyze Hardy, he gets as close to him as he can by legitimate means. --The New York Times It is likely to be the biography of choice for ordinary readers who require only one life of Hardy....Millgate also does more...than anyone writing about Hardy previously has done to suggest possible answers to the primary question of what sustained this writer whose reputation is growing steadily again now after a period of decline. --The Yale Review
