Late Lyrics, (Paperback)

<p>"Late Lyrics" is a profound collection of poetry by the eminent English author Thomas Hardy, showcasing the depth and versatility of his verse in the later stages of his career. This anthology brings together a wide array of poems that explore themes of memory, the passage of time, and the often tragic ironies of human existence. From the evocative landscapes of his fictionalized Wessex to intimate reflections on love and loss, Hardy's work remains grounded in a rhythmic and structural precision that bridges the Victorian and modern eras.</p><p>Included within this volume is Hardy's famous "Apology," a significant prose piece where he articulates his artistic philosophy and defends his somber worldview against contemporary critics. The poems themselves vary from short, poignant lyrics to longer narrative pieces, each marked by Hardy's characteristic psychological insight and keen observation of the natural world. "Late Lyrics" is an indispensable work for readers of classic poetry, offering a comprehensive look at the enduring poetic legacy of one of literature's most masterful observers of the human condition.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
