Although best known for his novels, Thomas Hardy regarded himself as a poet who was compelled by circumstances to write novels to survive. This generous selection of nearly two hundred poems includes well-known works such as "During Wind and Rain," "Shots at the Canal," "Afterwards," "The Darkling Thrush," and "The Fronts," but it will also acquaint readers with many lesser-known works, including "To Lizbie Browne," "After Last Breath," "My Spirit Will Not Haunt the Mound," "The Haunter," "Old Furniture," "A Procession of Dead Days," "Harbour Bridge," "Exhibition in Province," "Last Words of Love," "Awaiting Both," and "Proud Songs." With an introduction and notes by Robert Mezey, this edition of Penguin Classics will help readers recognize Hardy as one of the greatest English poets of this century.
