For the final years of his life he abandoned fiction and devoted himself entirely to poetry; he is now not only regarded as one of the most important English novelists but is also a poet of major stature and increasing popularity. "The Complete Poems" includes Hardy's more than 900 poems, complemented by detailed notes. Collected here are his eight books of verse, all the uncollected poems, "Domicilium," and the songs from "The Dynasts," This edition contains an additional poem, "The Sound of Her," |

| Publisher Description: Where much of the existing scholarship on Nancy Mairs has approached her essays in the context of disability studies, this book seeks to broaden the conversation through a wider range of critical perspectives and with attention to underrepresented aspects of Mairs's oeuvre. With particular attention to the ways Mairs shapes her essays around a variety of "unspeakables"-such as depression, female sexuality and infidelity, mortality and death, or the struggle for faith in a postmodern world-this collection demonstrates Mairs's provocative combination of bold ethics and subtle aesthetics. |
