Thomas Hardy's greatness as a novelist and poet is universally
acknowledged. These letters provide invaluable glimpses into his
life, from the years as an unknown architect's assistant in London
in the 1860s to the final period of extensive productivity in the
relative isolation of Max Gate. The more than three hundred letters
included here have been drawn from the recently completed
seven-volume Clarendon Press edition of the Collected Letters of
Thomas Hardy, which was edited by Michael Millgate in collaboration
with Richard L. Purdy. Although all aspects of Hardy's career are
reflected, the selection particularly emphasizes his personal
rather than his purely professional relationships: ample
representation is therefore given to his correspondence with his
family, with his two wives, and with such close friends as Edmund
Gosse and Florence Henniker. Many other notable figures are also
addressed, among them Walter de la Mare, Millicent Fawcett, Harley
Granville Barker, Ezra Pound, Marie Stopes, Robert Louis Stevenson,
Algernon Charles Swinburne, and Virginia Woolf. The full and
immediately accessible annotations to individual letters are
supplemented by editorial commentaries designed to place particular
letters or sequences of letters within the broader contexts of
Hardy's life and literary career. The volume also includes a brief
introduction, a chronology, and an index.
