This is Hardy's autobiography, written in secret for publication after his death. When published, authorship was ascribed to his second wife, who did make substantial insertions and delete several of her husband's passages, "some extremely significant." The work is presented here as it stood at the time of Hardy's final revision, shortly before his death. An appendix lists all the changes his widow made in the initial edition. Edited by Michael Millgate based on a "careful and prolonged study of unpublished materials." Includes an historical and textual introduction and a new biographical index. With 16 full-page illustrations, mostly old photos. Bound in the original gilt-stamped green boards.
