Hardy’s third collection of poems, published in 1909, gathers pieces written over some forty years and meant, he says, as dramatic monologues in many voices. Among them are ‘A Trampwoman’s Tragedy’, ‘A Sunday Morning Tragedy’, ‘The Revisitation’, ‘The House of Hospitalities’ and the dancing country girl of ‘Julie-Jane’, alongside love poems and reflections on time and loss.
