Selected Poems by Thomas Hardy
Although best remembered for his novels, Thomas Hardy thought of himself as a poet forced by circumstance to write fiction for a living. This selection of nearly two hundred poems includes pieces, such as During Wind and Rain, Channel Firing, Afterwards, The Darkling Thrush, The Oxen, To Lizbie Browne, and others.
Thomas Hardy was born on 2 June 1840. He wrote novels and poetry, much of which is set in the semi-imaginary county of Wessex. His novels include Far From the Madding Crowd (1874), The Return of the Native (1878), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the D'Urbervilles(1891) and Jude the Obscure (1895). He published his first volume of poetry, Wessex Poems, in 1898 and continued to publish collections of poems until his death on 11 January 1928.
