Woman Much Missed

Thomas Hardy, Emma Hardy, and Poetry

Beschreibung

Woman Much Missed is the first book-length study of the many poems that Thomas Hardy composed in the wake of the death of his first wife Emma. It shows how Emma's writings and experiences were fundamental to Hardy's evolution into both a best-selling novelist and into one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century
