Widely known as the author of such classic novels as The Return of the Native and Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) was also a great poet. His lyricism, subtlety, depth, and variety have earned him a significant place in the ranks of modern English poets.This modestly priced volume contains seventy of Hardy's finest poems, including "e;The Darkling Thrush,"e; "e;Hap,"e; "e;The Ruined Maid,"e; "e;The Convergence of the Twain,"e; "e;I Look Into My Glass,"e; "e;Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave?"e; and many others. These remarkable poems offer ample evidence of Hardy's intense perception and his peculiar power to express deep emotion. They also reflect his distinctive style, which fuses a reliance on traditional stanza formats and rhyme with a unique diction and imaginative power.
