Publisher's Synopsis

Late Lyrics And Earlier is a collection of poems by the renowned English novelist and poet, Thomas Hardy. The book includes a selection of Hardy's earlier works, written during the 1860s and 1870s, as well as a series of later poems written in the early 20th century. The earlier poems in the collection are marked by their romanticism and lyrical quality, exploring themes of love, nature, and the passing of time. Many of these poems are deeply personal, reflecting Hardy's own experiences and emotions. The later poems, on the other hand, are more introspective and philosophical in nature, reflecting Hardy's growing disillusionment with the world around him. These poems often deal with themes of mortality, loss, and the transience of life. Despite the differences in tone and subject matter between the earlier and later poems, the collection as a whole showcases Hardy's mastery of language and his ability to capture the complexities of the human experience. It is a must-read for fans of Hardy's novels and poetry, as well as for anyone interested in the evolution of English literature over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries.On war-men at this end of time--even on Englishmen's eyes-- Who slay with their arms of new might in that long-ago place, Flashed he who drove furiously? . . . Ah, did the phantom arise Of that queen, of that proud Tyrian woman who painted her face?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
