A collectible series Penguin Classics: impressive, cloth-bound editions of ten beloved poets, each presenting the poet's most famous book of verses as originally published. Designed by the renowned Coralie Bickford-Smith and beautifully crafted, these slender, A format volumes make perfect gifts for poetry lovers. The Wessex Poems was Hardy's first collection of poems, published after he was deterred from writing novels, disappointed by the harsh reception received by Jude the Obscure. Its publication marked the beginning of an extraordinary new phase in Hardy's career: Throughout his long life, he would write only poetry. Included here are vivid Dorset ballads, verses set during the Napoleonic Wars, and personal poems reflecting Hardy's life and loves. Composed throughout his life and inspired by his affection for his beloved Wessex, their publication in 1898 heralded the arrival of a significant new poetic voice.
Pages: 144, Dimensions: 12x12cm.
