This wonderful volume contains the complete poetical works of Thomas Hardy. Thomas Hardy (1840 - 1928), was one of England's greatest novelists during the nineteenth century, and one of its most esteemed poets of the twentieth. He was a poet by choice and a novelist by necessity, and this destination is evident in the beautiful and masterfully-composed poetry contained within these pages. This collection is highly recommended for all lovers of poetry, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Hardy's seminal work. The poems include: "After the Visit", "To Meet, or Otherwise", "The Difference", "In The Departure Platform", "In a Cathedral City", "I Say I'll Seek Her", "Song of Hope", "Before and After Summer", "First Sight of her and After", and many more. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
