«Un grupo de nobles damas» is a collection of short stories by Thomas Hardy, published by RBA in 2020 in hardcover (255 pages, in Spanish).
Framed by the Wessex Nature and Archaeology Club, whose members, detained by bad weather in a museum, entertain themselves by telling stories about noble ladies: secret weddings, illegitimate children, furtive affairs and impulsive mistakes that are only recognized with the passing of time.
Originally published in 1891 with the title «A Group of Noble Dames»; this edition belongs to the Novelas Eternas collection (Cranford Collection).
For readers of Victorian classics, nineteenth-century English literature, and stories of manners.
Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain such as those from his native South West England.
