Thomas Hardy: The Complete Works 
The Hand of Ethelberta, The Trumpet-Major, The Woodlanders, Wessex Tales… (Illustrated) (Bauer Classics)

While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, he gained fame as the author of novels such as 
Far from the Madding Crowd (1874),  
The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886),  
Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891), and 
Jude the Obscure (1895). During his lifetime, Hardy’s poetry was acclaimed by younger poets (particularly the Georgians) who viewed him as a mentor. After his death his poems were lauded by Ezra Pound,  W. H. Auden and Philip Larkin
