Death After his first wife’s death, Hardy was stricken with guilt and remorse, but the result was some of his best poetry, expressing his feelings for his wife of 38 years. Thomas Hardy died on Jan. 11, 1928 at his house of Max Gate in Dorchester. He wished to be buried beside Emma in Stinsford churchyard, but his wishes were only partly regarded. His body was interred in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, and only his heart was buried in Emma's grave at Stinsford.

Did You Know?

A rumour has persisted since Hardy's death that it is not the author's heart that was buried beside Emma (his wife ).

The story goes that Hardy's housekeeper placed his heart on the kitchen table, where it was promptly devoured by his cat. Apparently a pig's heart was used to replace Hardy's own. Truth? Fiction? We will probably never know.
