They 'would probably have never been collected by me at this time of day' Hardy wrote 'if frequent reprints of some of them in America and elsewhere had not set many readers inquiring for them in a volume' There is much of interest in the volume: the introduction of soldiers and the use of historical setting in the tales written in the '90s when The Dynasts was taking shape; the snatches of reminiscence and family tradition in 'A Tryst at an Ancient Earthwork' and 'The Duke's Reappearance'; the reflection in 'Alicia's Diary' of Hardy's Italian journey a few months before "" Purdy 155-56.

FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL CLOTH OF JUDE THE OBSCURE perhaps the most unbiased consideration in English fiction of the more complicated questions of sex.Hardy's knowledge of woman confirms him in a suspension of judgment; his knowledge of nature brings him nearer to the unchanging and consoling element in the world. His peasants have been compared with Shakespeare's; he has the Shakespearean sense of their placid existence with an unconscious wisdom in their close narrow and undistracted view of things.
