| Quotation: | "Another effect of his encounter with Meredith...may have been that Hardy decided to improve his own appearance. He could not produce anything to rival Meredith's poetic locks, but by the end of 1869 he had grown a respectable beard of his own, in colour a yellowish brown. A hairy face was required of writers in the mid-nineteenth century, and in appearance at any rate he could now take his place alongside Dickens, Tennyson, Trollope, Arnold and Browning." |
