Further Reading

This a selective reading list. Nearly everything it contains is available in book form (and thus via public libraries). My few comments are descriptive, not evaluative, but, where I think a book likely to be helpful to a beginner in Hardy studies, I add an asterisk to its title (thus *). The following abbreviations are used: H (Hardy's), TH (Thomas Hardy's), OUP (Oxford Uni­versity Press), CUP (Cambridge University Press). Except where indicated all books are, or were, published by Macmil­lan. PB indicates that it is available in paperback edition.

I TEXTS OF HARDY'S VERSE

The eight successive volumes first appeared as follows: 1988, Wessex Poems and Other Verses (with H's illustrations); 1901, Poems of the Past and the Present; 1909, Time's Laughingstocks and Other Verses; 1914, Satires of Circumstances, Lyrics and Reve­ries; 1917, Moments of Vision and Miscellaneous Verses; 1922, Late Lyrics and Earlier with Many Other Verses (inc. H's Apology); 1925, Human Shows, Far Fantasies, Songs and Trifles; 1928, Winter Words (posthumously published).

All were first printed together as The Collected Poems of TH in 1930, often reprinted but never re-edited until J. Gibson's The Complete Poems of TH (1976) (the same editor's Variorum Com­plete Poems (1979) gives all printed and all significant MS variants). S. Hynes's The Complete Poetical Works of TH (OUP, 1982) et seq.) includes The Dynasts as Vols 4 and 5. NB. The italicised words in the titles of the separate volumes above are the usual/short forms' employed.

Selections from Hardy's verse

Hardy himself chose 120 poems from his first four volumes as his Selected Poems of TH (1916), adding to them from the next three to make his Chosen Poems of TH (1929). Later selections by Young (1940); Ransom (USA, 1961) and Wain (1966) contain interesting and substantial introductions. See Chapter 1 for others.

cited as THJ.

VIII HARDY ON POETRY

What Hardy himself wrote on poetry is scattered and mostly fragmentary. The Complete Poems contains his Prefaces and the important 'Apology' of 1922. The Creighton and the Hynes selections, like CASE, contain generous extracts from The Life, the Letters and the Notebooks. The General Preface to the 'Wessex Edition' is in H. OreYs useful compilation H's Personal Writings, 1966.

IX MISCELLANEOUS MATERIAL

J. Gibson's slide/tape programme TH: The Making of Poetry is available from Macmillan Education. There is a cassette record­ing by A. Chedzoy on 'Canto' cassettes from the Carcanet Press. The most handy guide for walking the Hardy country is A. M. Edward's In the Steps ofTH, Countryside Books, 1989.

Index

Note: This is not a full index. Its main function is to help the reader to locate discussion of particular poems by Hardy in the text. Thus, in Section A, every poem by Hardy which is mentioned, however briefly, is indexed alphabetically by title. Because there are minor variations in the alphabetical conven­tions used in differing selections, I have here followed the order of the Complete Poems, adding its serial numbers in parenthesis after the titles. Page references for major entries (i.e. those giving substantial comment, normally of half a page or more) are set in bold type, as in the example which follows:

Beeny Cliff (291) 46, 50-51, 228, 230-232.

Section B is an alphabetical list of persons (authors, critics, family, friends and so on) who are mentioned and sometimes quoted in the text. Section C lists references and quotations from other works by Hardy, in order of composition. Note that no attempt is made to classify references to Hardy himself. The chapter headings will provide a rough guide as to where his views on particular subjects are likely to appear. Only the initial reference to a member of Hardy's immediate family is given, but virtually all of these occur in Chapters 1 and 2 of course, though there are quite numerous references to his wives in Chapter 7.
