Thomas Hardy - At A Lunar Eclipse

LibriVox volunteers bring you 25 recordings of At A Lunar Eclipse by Thomas Hardy.This was the Weekly Poetry project for January 27, 2019. ------While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, therefore, he gained fame as the author of such novels 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. - Summary by Wikipedia
