<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Thomas Hardy's first love was always poetry. It was not until 1898, when he was fifty-eight years old, having already established his reputation with fourteen novels and over forty short stories, that his first book of poetry, Wessex Poems was published. For the final thirty years of his life he abandoned fiction and devoted himself entirely to poetry. It is a tribute to his remarkable powers of creativity that he is now not only regarded as one of the most important English novelists but is also recognised as a poet of major stature and ever increasing popularity. The Complete Poems, edited by James Gibson, includes all of Hardy's prolific output of more than nine hundred poems, complemented by a detailed notes section. Collected in this single volume are his eight books of verse, all the uncollected poems, 'Domicilium' and the songs from The Dynasts. This new edition contains an additional poem, The Sound of Her .<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'When the paperback of Gibson's Complete Poems is in stock, why buy anything else?' - Professor Dennis Taylor, University of Boston</p> <p>'Don't order a selection at all if you can get the Complete Poems.' - Professor William Morgan, State University of Illinois</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>JAMES GIBSON was formerly Principal Lecturer in English at Christ Church College, Canterbury.
