HARDY, Thomas Late Lyrics and Earlier With Many Other Verses

Macmillan, 1922.

First edition. 8vo. Publisher's original green cloth, titled in gilt and with Hardy's insignia stamped in gilt on the upper cover, in the printed buff dustwrapper. A fine copy, entirely unopened, with just a couple of spots to the top edge, in a fine dustwrapper.

A collection of 151 poems, to which Hardy added a notable 'Apology' addressed to his critics and to all those, like himself, 'concerned to keep poetry alive'... the earliest [poem] is dated 1866, the latest 1921, and every decade between (save the 80's) provides some verse. In many respects the volume is the most representative of Hardy's whole career (Purdy).
