Synopsis

A complete collection of Hardy's poetry, an output of over 900 poems, including his eight books of verse, all the uncollected poems, "Domicilium" and the songs from "The Dynasts". Hardy was fifty-eight years old and had already established his reputation as a novelist when his first book of verse "Wessex Poems" was published. The creative force of these and subsequent poems was such that he is now regarded as a poet of major stature as well as one of the century's finest novelists.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thomas Hardy's first love was always poetry. It was not until 1898, when he was 58 years old, having already established his reputation with 14 novels and over 40 short stories, that his first book of poetry, "Wessex Poems" was published. For the final 30 years of his life he abandoned fiction and devoted himself entirely to poetry. It is a tribute to his remarkable powers of creativity that he is now not only regarded as one of the most important English novelists but is also recognized as a poet of major stature and ever increasing popularity. "The Complete Poems", edited by James Gibson, includes all of Hardy's prolific output of more than 900 poems, complemented by a detailed notes section. Collected in this single volume are his eight books of verse, all the uncollected poems, "Domicilium", and the songs from "The Dynasts".
