| Thomas Hardy's reputation as a poet is higher now than it
has ever been. It is generally agreed that the Poems of 1912-13,
written in memory of his first wife, are some of the greatest
elegies in the language. This invaluable new study concentrates
on the 'Emma Poems', setting them in the context of Hardy's
troubled first marriage, then analysing them one by one. |
| John Greening - a poet himself and author
of the Greenwich Exchange Guides to Poets
of the First World War and W.B.
Yeats - highlights the distinctive music of this twenty-one
poem 'suite', while exploring the sexual and spiritual tensions
concealed witihn Hardy's Dorsetshire and North Cornish landscapes. |
