When Emma Hardy died in 1912, her husband, the great novelist and
poet Thomas Hardy, began to write Poems of 1912 13, a series of
elegies that are among the most moving in the English language.
Although the couple had been estranged for years, after her death
Hardy fell under Emma s spell again and was enthralled by her as he
hadn t been in decades. He transformed his hopelessly revived love
into poetry, pouring out his yearning and passionate attachment to
a love forever lost. Poems of 1912 13 and the other elegies about
Emma included in this volume have been read and discussed by poets
and scholars for almost a century but never collected in their own
book. Their accessibility, emotional power, and focus on the
mysterious complexities of marriage make them of interest to a
broad public. Readers will cherish this beautifully produced,
illustrated volume of poetical testaments to enduring love."
