Reviewed By... Ashley Middlebrook

Hardy is one of the few poets in the English language to gain acclaim as both a novelist and a poet. His poetry is filled with a longing for hope and beauty within his seemingly desolate post-Enlightenment society. This wonderful collection of his poems is a must have for any poetry enthusiast!

Publisher Comments

Thomas Hardy's first love was poetry. It was not until 1898, when he was 58, that his first book of poetry, Wessex Poems was published. For the final years of his life he abandoned fiction and devoted himself entirely to poetry; he is now not only regarded as one of the most important English novelists but is also a poet of major stature and increasing popularity. The Complete Poems includes Hardy's more than 900 poems, complemented by detailed notes. Collected here are his eight books of verse, all the uncollected poems, Domicilium, and the songs from The Dynasts. This edition contains an additional poem, The Sound of Her.


James Gibson is a writer, editor, and lecturer.


“When the paperback of Gibson's complete poems is in stock, why buy anything else?” ——Dennis Taylor, Boston College
