The opening section of this seventh and final volume of the
definitive edition of Thomas Hardy's letters covers the period from
January 1926 to December 1927: his last letter, to Edmund Gosse,
was written on Christmas Day 1927 and he died seventeen days later,
on 11 January 1928. Although few of his long-standing personal
correspondences were actively kept up during these last two years
of his life, Hardy maintained (especially when writing to Sir
Frederick Macmillan) a lively and practical interest in all aspects
of his work and career; he also responded, usually with a courteous
refusal, to the many requests and enquiries that his fame
inevitably attracted. The second section is devoted to letters
which became available too late for publication in their correct
chronological sequence in earlier volumes of the edition; those now
added date mostly from the nineteenth century, and include a series
of letters to officials of the Duchy of Cornwall about the purchase
of land on which Max Gate was built, as well as numerous individual
letters of considerable interest and importance. This volume
contains more than 350 letters, the great majority of them
previously unpublished, which are supplemented, as before, by
scrupulous annotation and extensive cross-referencing; by a
chronology covering the whole of Hardy's career; and by an index of
recipients of the letters included. As the concluding volume,
however, it also incorporates an extensive General Index covering
the texts and annotations of the entire edition.
