Hardy's Poetry, 1860-1928 by Dennis Taylor

Hardy insisted that his poetry steadily grew in skill and maturity. Hardy's Poetry, 1860-1928 traces this development. Gradually Hardy makes his lyric poem the model of a man's life: the way the lyric speaker forms his thoughts within the few moments of a reverie recapitulates the way a man has thought over a lifetime; the smaller interruption of the reverie portends the larger interruptions of life. This lyric model is supported by a distinctive imagery of visual patterns whose implications Hardy explores. These patterns come to symbolise the patterns of life and mind which crystallise over a lifetime and are belatedly revealed.
Taylor, Dennis: - Author Dennis S. Taylor, in conjunction with the Clemson University Libraries, has put together a truly captivating visual tour of the rural landscape of the Piedmont region, from Oconee County and Greenville to Pendleton and Greenwood to Union and York. Appealing to both farmers and those simply interested in South Carolina s diverse history, Rural Life in the Piedmont of South Carolina is a fitting testament to the state s agricultural heritage, a history that needs to be remembered, celebrated, and treasured by all.
