192824137New 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

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.<br> 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.

18738293Henry Holt New York 1873. 8vo. First US Edition Later Issue; original pictorial mustard cloth blocked and lettered in black backstrip lettered in gilt and black very neatly rebacked with old backstrip laid down original printed endpapers wholly preserved covers very lightly age-soiled but every detail of the blocking bright and clear corners very lightly bruised without material damage a remarkably bright clean copy. HARDY'S FIRST BOOK PUBLISHED IN THE US AND THE SECOND EDITION OF THE WORK OVERALL. Hardy's second novel 'Under the Greenwood Tree' was first published by Tinsley in 1872 one of the 'best press-noticed' books sold by that publisher. Under the terms of Tinsley's new agreement with Holt of New York it was then issued by the latter in their popular 'Leisure House' series in June 1873 the first of Hardy's works to be so issued in the US. His first novel 'Desperate Remedies' 1871 did not appear in the series until March 1874. From the series catalogue present on the front endpapers it is clear that this is a later issue at least 1881 since the list includes 'A Laodician'. Most volumes in the 'Leisure Hour' series were severally reissued with updated endpapers. This copy has been expertly rebacked. The original elaborately blocked backstrip is virtually complete with just a few millimetres missing at extreme head and tail. The original endpapers which carry a detailed catalogue of the 'Leisure Hour' series catalogue printed in red are all complete and virtually unmarked. The top edge is mildly dust-soiled but this does not extend to the text which also shows practically no trace of the usual foxing and spotting. A NOTABLE COPY AND A RARE SURVIVAL. See Purdy p.8 et seq. NCBEL III 981. Henry Holt, New York, hardcover
