Thomas Hardy saw himself, first and foremost, as a poet, and he
wrote poetry throughout his prolific and acclaimed novel-writing
years before announcing in 1896 that he would no longer write
novels, much to the astonishment of his worldwide readership.
Instead he went on to publish eight masterful volumes of poetry -
ranging from lyrics and ballads to dramatic monologues and satire -
and is now regarded as one of the greatest twentieth-century poets.
Choosing the best verse from each volume, the Poems of Thomas Hardy
is the perfect introduction to Hardy's lyrical, soul-searching and
profoundly sincere poetry, covering subjects ranging from his grief
at the death of his first wife to his experiences of war. This
beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition is edited and
introduced by editor Ned Halley. Designed to appeal to the
booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of
beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan
Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
