description: Mesmerizing volume of poetry set in the backdrop of Wessex that provided the milieu for most of Hardy’s writings. The poems deal with themes of disappointment in love and life and the struggle to live a meaningful life in an indifferent world. Hardy’s poetry is universally acclaimed for the symphony of subject matter and unique selection of words.
