Description
Wessex Poems and Other Verses is a collection of poetry that marks the beginning of Thomas Hardy's new writing phase. Published in 1898, it was his first major foray into verse after being disillusioned by the reception of his novel Jude the Obscure.
This slim volume features sprightly Dorset ballads, verses set during the Napoleonic Wars, and personal poems that reflect on Hardy's life and loves. Composed throughout his life, they showcase his affection for the region of Wessex, which would become a recurring theme in his work.
