Synopsis
Hardy insisted that his poetry steadily grew in skill and maturity. Hardy's Poetry, 1860-1928 traces this development. Gradually Hardy makes his lyric poem the model of a man's life: the way the lyric speaker forms his thoughts within the few moments of a reverie recapitulates the way a man has thought over a lifetime; the smaller interruption of the reverie portends the larger interruptions of life. This lyric model is supported by a distinctive imagery of visual patterns whose implications Hardy explores. These patterns come to symbolise the patterns of life and mind which crystallise over a lifetime and are belatedly revealed.

Synopsis
This is a study of the development of skill and maturity in Hardy's poetry which climaxed in his lyric poems. The author's examination reveals that the lyrics were a synthesis of the traditions of the major Romantic lyric, architectural theory, the late Gothic novel, painting and theories of art, philosophy, the Victorian novel, ballads, theories of the grotesque, the folklore of ghosts, essays on war and traditions of pastoral. Also contributing to this form of poetry, which the author contends was one of the great intellectual and artistic achievements of Victorian and modern times, was Hardy's discovery of the deep connections between the plot of Victorian life and his own, both of which were caught up in 50 year old dreams soon to be interrupted by the realities of 1912-1914. The author also wrote " Hardy's Metres And Victorian Prosody".
