The introduction by Robert Mezey was expecially gratifying. This was the right quantity of poems to suit my interest. The format of the book was pleasing. Everything about the book and the anthology has the right feel about it to my taste.

Customer Review:
"Tess of the d'Urbervilles", first published in 1891, is set in Dorset (or "South Wessex" as Hardy called it) during the latter part of the nineteenth century.

3.The Return of the Native (Penguin Classics)The Return of the Native (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $3.15

Customer Review:
I read Thomas Hardy, because he is a wonderful writer. However, his characters, while completely accurate to the nuanced coquettish interaction of the period, do not allign with the logic of a more modern sensibility. As a result, the book seems slow and dated - unless you're into high school love... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $8.64

Customer Review:
Let me start with the downside, ie why do I deduct a star?
Hardy's plot is just too dependant on accidental eavesdroppings, unfortunate or lucky coincidences, or plain bad luck, to be taken seriously in terms of telling a complex story. Furthermore, the Mephistophelian villain is a little over... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $4.35

Customer Review:
A new bride, a screwdriver and the coffin in the sitting room -- if for no other reason, this book is a MUST for that scene.
I take issue with the reviewer who described Bathsheba as "not an evil person," but rather "a force of nature." In fact, she's the protagonist of the story. Like any... more info

Price: $5.88

Customer Review:
A Pair of Blue Eyes is one of Thomas Hardy's lesser known novels. As with this other works of fiction it is set in the Wessex region of England (essentially the southwestern part of the country) and relates to the efforts of ordinary people to find happiness in love and life. The book centers around... more info

10.Thomas Hardy: The Complete PoemsThomas Hardy: The Complete Poems
from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $20.71

Customer Review:
Hardy's novels evoke dark moods and frequently feature innocent victims of others tragic flaws. Strangely his poetry is a mixture of light and dark but leaning heavily on the light as his focus on memory of loves lost and other themes can be uplifting rather than grim. I've always found it... more info
