Thomas Hardy's Personal Writings

"Thomas Hardy’s Personal Writings: Prefaces · Literary Opinions · Reminiscences" by Harold Orel (eds.), published by Palgrave Macmillan. '... Thomas Hardy's Personal Writings is an informative book, and a superlatively well-edited one. Professor Orel has been generous in his inclusions, meticulous in his texts, and thorough in his annotations. Anything that one is likely to want to read of Hardy's occasional prose is here, and what is not here is carefully described in an annotated appendix. The book takes it place at once with Richard Purdy's bibliography as a standard, useful, trustworthy work in the library of essential Hardy scholarship.' Times Literary Supplement '... these essays certainly deserve to be much better known.' Raymond Williams, Guardian Book details: XIV, 295 pages, published 1966.
