An appendix contains a selection of relevant passages from Hardys notebooks, letters, and autobiography; and a bibliography suggests further reading.Tim Armstrongs critical Introduction discusses Hardys career, his poetics, his use of memory and allusion and examines his position in the context of Victorian debates on aesthetics and belief. The generous selection of poems includes many lesser-known poems as well as those which have received most critical commentary, and the important elegiac sequence Poems of 1912-13 is included in its entirety.
