Thomas Hardy abandoned the novel form at the turn of the century, probably after public reaction toJude the Obscure, but continued to write verse displaying a wide variety of metrical styles and stanza forms and a broad scope of tone and attitude. This definitive volume contains selections from his numerous collections published between 1898 and 1928.
