Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English
Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury. Wessex Tales was the
first collection of Hardy's short stories, and they reflect the
experience of a novelist at the height of his powers. These seven
tales, in which characters and scenes are imbued with a haunting
realism, show considerable diversity of content, form and style,
and range from fantasy to realism and from tragedy to comedy. In
insisting on the unusual nature of any story worth the telling, and
with his gift for irony and compassion, Hardy achieves more in the
genre of the short story than any English novelist before him.
