Dear Arvind,

There are some excellent biographies of Hardy available.  A  commonly  
recommended one is Michael Millgate's Thomas Hardy: A Biography  
Revisited.  This would certainly be a good place to start.  Another  
book you would find useful is The Oxford Reader's Companion to Hardy  
edited by Norman Page.  It gives overviews of, and comments on, all   
aspects of Hardy's work,  glimpses into his relationships with the  
people and ideas current during his lifetime, and much more, in an  
easy to access alphabetical format.

Good luck with your reading!

Betty
