Hardy, Thomas

Opis

Hardy made the acquaintance of a wide range of contemporary men and women of letters, some of whom became firm friends. Many kept his letters, and this volume, which draws on all his correspondence, contains those to his family, especially to his sister Mary and his second wife Florence.

Recenzje

'Selected Letters is an admirable feat of compression, distilling from the seven-volume Collected Letters of over 2000 pages a representative selection spanning a long life, which will be useful to the scholar and appealing to Hardy enthusiasts. Professor Millgate has almost unerringly selected the 'best' letters - best written, or most revealing ... For those who may share Hardy's reservation the Selected Letters provide a happy and dependable alternative to the seven-volume strata from which they have been so knowledgeably and skilfully quarried.' Michael Thorpe, Mount Allison University, English Studies, Volume 73, Number 3, June 1992
