Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), scrittore britannico, segna il passaggio tra il periodo vittoriano e il novecento, di cui anticipa il pessimismo scopenhaueriano: l’uomo, con i suoi sogni e desideri ostacolato da un destino ostile. La tecnica narrativa di Hardy è molto ifluenzata dagli impressionisti:: "un romanzo è un'impressione, non un ragionamento", perciò ricorre spesso a descrizioni pittoriche e ai colori.
