Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was a renowned Victorian writer who emerged as a highly inventive and original voice in modern poetry. This comprehensive collection of his works, curated by David Bromwich, encompasses a diverse range of poetic forms, including songs, ballads, sonnets, dramatic monologues, and elegies. Additionally, it includes poems that capture significant historical moments, such as the aftermath of the Great War.

Hardy's poetry is celebrated for its profound introspection and emotional depth, making him one of the most inward and personal modern poets. At the same time, his accessibility and wide readership have contributed to his widespread admiration.

Included in this selection is the complete and authoritative text of Chosen Poems of Thomas Hardy, which represents the final selection of his own work that Hardy chose to publish. Bromwich has also curated over one hundred fifty additional poems that span the entirety of Hardy's career, from his early Wessex Poems to his later Winter Words. His critical and biographical introduction provides valuable insights into Hardy's artistic achievements, placing them within the broader context of his career as a prose and poetry writer.

This collection offers a remarkable opportunity to explore the rich and diverse world of Thomas Hardy's poetry, allowing readers to appreciate his profound insights, lyrical beauty, and enduring legacy in modern literature.
