Description
This selection of Hardy’s poetry does full justice to its humanity,
integrity, humour and evocative power, ranging from charming
anthology pieces such as ‘Weathers’ to the great love poems he
wrote after the death of his first wife and the meditations on war
and philosophy.
The poems – nearly 80 in total – are set in the context of his life
and thought, including personal writings by him and those closest
to him
