Description
Thomas Hardy Remembered brings together 150 annotated interviews and recollections of the author, many of which are being reprinted for the first time. These include personal reflections from old friends such as Sir George Douglas, J.M. Barrie, and Edmund Gosse, alongside fleeting glimpses from strangers who encountered him in different settings. Martin Ray has carefully selected items with the greatest literary or biographical significance, annotating them with meticulous accuracy and a keen eye for detail. This collection provides invaluable insights into Hardy's personal life and professional career, as well as how he was perceived by others during his lifetime. By bringing these diverse voices together, Thomas Hardy Remembered reveals recurring themes in Hardy's work, such as ancient families, architecture, and Wessex folklore. This volume offers a nuanced portrait of Hardy as both a scrupulous professional and an artist who remained largely unaware of his own genius.
