THOMAS HARDY: WESSEX POEMS AND OTHER VERSES Edited by A.H. Ninham A book of Thomas Hardy's poetry from 1898, including some favourites such as ‘Neutral Tones’, ‘She To Him’, ‘A Sign-Seeker’, and ‘Thoughts of Phena’. Thomas Hardy's poetry lies at the core of his artistic achievement. But it is the novels, in particular Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Far From the Madding Crowd, Jude the Obscure, The Mayor of Casterbridge, The Woodlanders and The Return of the Native, that have made Hardy popular with readers and critics. For Hardy, though, the poetry is at the heart of his artistic life. It contains his deepest emotions, his thoughts on the most intimate matters. The poetry is, as Robert Graves said, a 'spiritual autobiography'. Includes a gallery of illustrations and an introduction to Hardy’s poetry and novels. 160 pages. www.crmoon.com
