Like his subject, Pite takes risks with what he reveals, but the detail is always enlarging. Hardy, and his times, seem bigger for this work' New Statesman 'In portraits, Hardy habitually looks downwards or aside, avoiding direct contact. In this biography, Pite has caught his subject's eyes and held his gaze' The Times 'Pite is skilful, not to say ingenious, in drawing together emblems and instances of secrecy ...This new biography encourages us to re-examine Hardy's life as a complex and often self-contradictory whole; Pite's Hardy is altogether more vulnerable than Hardy's version of himself, but also more likeable' Guardian
