Summary
"When Emma Hardy died in 1912, her husband, the great Thomas Hardy, started writing a series of elegies that are amongst the most moving in the English language. Although the couple had been estranged for many years, after her death, Hardy fell under Emma's spell all over again and was enthralled by her as he hadn't been in decades. He transformed his hopelessly revived love into poetry, collected here for the first time in a single volume."--Publisher's description.
