FIRST EDITION IN THE ORIGINAL CLOTH. A lovely copy of Hardy’s first significant publishing venture as a poet. Though better known now as a novelist Hardy rated poetry above fiction.

A SCARCE HARDY TITLE IN ORIGINAL CLOTH THERE WERE ONLY 750 COPIES PRINTED AND OF THOSE ONLY 634 WERE BOUND the rest of the sheets were remaindered. This copy is not only very unusual for its exceptional and bright condition but also for being a publisher's presentation copy. The work consists of five stories The Three Strangers The Withered Arm Fellow-Townsmen Interlopers at the Knap and The Distracted Preacherpreviously published only in serials. In the various short stories Hardy writes of the true nature of nineteenth-century marriage and its inherent restrictions the use of grammar as a diluted form of thought the disparities created by the role of class status in determining societal rank the stance of women in society and the severity of even minor diseases causing the rapid onset of fatal symptoms prior to the introduction of sufficient medicinal practices. A focal point of all the short stories is that of social constraints acting to diminish one's contentment in life necessitating unwanted marriages repression of true emotion and succumbing to melancholia due to constriction within the confines of 19th-century perceived normalcy.

1928réf. 24137New York: Macmillan 1928. First edition. 8vo publisher’s original forest-green cloth the spine lettered in gilt. xi 202 pp. A very good very bright copy. FIRST EDITION. Hardy considered that this would probably be his last appearance on the literary stage. He has written that the poems included have been written with reasonable care though considering his age not quite with the zest of a young man new to print. It had become obvious that a lifetime of excellence allowed for what might have once been considered extraordinary to be taken as expected and normative. A collection then of fine poems by a master at his height and greatest reputation. Macmillan hardcover
