description: Hardy's Literary Notebooks are one of the major sources of information about what Hardy considered necessary or desirable reading for his craft. The present edition, as well as providing for the first time the full text of the Notebooks, includes a full editorial commentary which identifies sources and indicates how Hardy used his literary notes both explicitly and implicitly in his own writing. An invaluable addition to the Hardy canon which will be of interest to scholars and Hardy enthusiasts alike. Winner of the Thomas Hardy Society Book Prize for 1986.
