Thomas Hardy, Poet: New Perspectives

The poems of Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) are key to understanding 19th, 20th and even 21st century poetry. This collection of fresh essays sheds new light on Hardy's poems--some of which have received little critical attention--from a variety of thematic and analytical approaches, offering a detailed picture of how his works are currently being read. The contributors discuss why Hardy's poetic genius is less and less overshadowed by his career as a novelist and highlight his passionate attention to small details, his delight in "noticing things" and his "eye for...mysteries." 9780786495382 0786495383 233 BOOK Literary Criticism NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Fy-SCgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
