Item Info

 

HARDY, Thomas

Wessex Poems and Other Verses

First American edition. Faint stain to the bottom corner of the front board and a little darkening to the spine, an attractive, very good copy. Hardy's first volume of poetry, a form he turned to after the unsatisfactory reception of his novels, and a pursuit which he always regarded as far more important than his fiction. Though today's readers know him mostly for his great tragedies, Hardy was considered the equal of Yeats as the great poet of the turn of the century.
