Reader's note

This patterned vintage book is a 1960 edition of The Penguin Poets, focusing on Thomas Hardy with a selection of poems chosen and edited by W.E. Williams. Hardy's poems, like his novels, derive from his own nature, experience, and integrity, and it is this characteristic nature, experience, and integrity, and it is this characteristic which makes his testimony so personal and so moving. The shorthand in which Hardy has so often been summed up in his life, and since, was 'pessimist'. A tender and compassionate nature can scarcely avoid having a sombre outlook on life and there is a world of difference between the melancholy and the morbid, although those who knew him best were aware of a morbid streak in Hardy.
