Wessex Poems and Other Verses by Thomas Hardy

With this book, Hardy ascended to the very toprank of English lyric poets. It's a truly magnificent work, worth reading and re-reding and re-re-reading. And at this price!! Although Hardy's verses are not as good as his prose, it is an essential book for one who wants to know more about the psychology of the author and understand better his fictional world.

Wessex Poems

I chose this rating because Hardy is always fantastic in his choice of words and images. But sometimes so much pain described can be depressing. Still its beauty is worth the reading. I love to read poetry, but I didn't really like this book. If you like well known and good poems then I do not recommend this for you. Did not like boring not really good poems. See all 8 reviews.
