    About this ebook

    The Poetry Of Thomas Hardy – An Introduction. Many giants of Literature originate from the shores of these emerald isles; Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaucer, The Brontes and Austen to which most people would willingly add the name Thomas Hardy. Far From The Madding Crowd, Tess Of The D’Urbervilles, The Mayor Of Casterbridge are but three of his literary masterpieces. But let us go further and add to his canon his Poems. Hardy himself thought he was a poet who wrote novels purely for the money. Indeed his poems were not published until he was in his fifties after his major novels were published and his reputation set. Today his poetry is more rightly regarded in its own right. Many of these poems are also available as an audiobook read for you by James Taylor, Gideon Wagner, Richard Mitchley, Tim Graham and Ghizela Rowe and available at iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores.

      Thomas Hardy, The Poetry Of - Thomas Hardy

      Thomas Hardy, A Poet In Verse 

      Poetry is a fascinating use of language.  With almost a million words at its command it is not surprising that these Isles have produced some of the most beautiful, moving and descriptive verse through the centuries.  In this series we look at poets who at first thought summon other crafts to mind.  

      Many giants of Literature originate from the shores of these emerald isles;  Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaucer, The Brontes and Austen to which most people would willingly add the name Thomas Hardy.   ‘Far From The Madding Crowd’,’ Tess Of The D’Urbervilles’, ‘The Mayor Of Casterbridge’ are but three of his literary masterpieces.  But let us go further and add to his canon his Poems.  Hardy himself thought he was a poet who wrote novels purely for the money.  Indeed his poems were not published until he was in his fifties after his major novels were published and his reputation set.   Today his poetry is more rightly regarded in its own right.

      Many of the poems are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Portable Poetry.  Many samples are at our youtube channel   http://www.youtube.com/user/PortablePoetry?feature=mhee   The full volume can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores.  Among the readers are James Taylor, Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe

      Which sight could scarce sustain:

      The black lean land, of featureless contour,

      Was like a tract in pain.

      This scene, like my own life, I said, "is one

      Where many glooms abide;

      Toned by its fortune to a deadly dun

      Lightless on every side.

      I glanced aloft and halted, pleasure-caught

      To see
