The Works of Thomas Hardy by Thomas Hardy - April 1, 1998: With an Introduction and Bibliography (Wordsworth Collection) (Wordsworth Collection)

Thomas Hardy started composing poetry in the heyday of Tennyson and Browning. His extraordinary stamina and a consistent individuality of style and vision made him a survivor, immune to literary fashion. At the start of the twenty-first century his reputation stands higher than it ever did, even in his own lifetime. He is now recognized not only as a great poet, but as one who is widely loved. He speaks with directness, humanity and humour to scholarly or ordinary readers alike.
