«Un grupo de nobles damas» is a collection of stories by Thomas Hardy, published by Alba Editorial in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
A storm surprises the members of the Wessex Natural History and Archaeology Club in a museum, and they entertain themselves telling stories of noble ladies: secret weddings, illegitimate children and furtive affairs. Hardy presents intrepid heroines: one catches smallpox to drive away a suitor, another abandons her husband to follow her lover.
Volume 106 of Alba Editorial's Clásica collection, translated by Catalina Martínez Muñoz. Hardy wrote the work between 1878 and 1891.
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.
