small-8°, paperback edition. Condition: Gut. 244 pages, text in English, illustrated cover, pages and edges slightly browned due to age and paper, cover with slight signs of wear due to age, This entirely new selection of Thomas Hardy's poetry is intended for the general reader and presents substantial number of his poems in convenient paperback form It contains some of the poets best-loved works - including the complete cycle of Poems of 1912-13 written after the death of his first wife, described by John Wain in the Introduction as one of the glories of English literature, and also many of his less well-known poems.
