The Poetry of Thomas Hardy : A Handbook and Commentary

This handbook provides the background necessary for fully understanding the nearly one thousand poems of Hardy.

As it treats the poems individually and often supplements the analysis of a poem by relating it to other poems and to passages in the fiction, every comment helps build a portrait of Hardy as a poet.
