Omschrijving
A meticulously prepared and annotated edition of a previously unpublished and almost unknown Hardy notebook, one of the very few to have survived. Biographically significant because of its preservation of personal notes from old pocket-books subsequently destroyed, 'Poetical Matter' is a unique late working notebook devoted to verse.
The editing throughout is superbly informative... gives the best insight we are likely to get into Hardy's working methods in manuscript
the notebook offers a rich and vivid demonstration of the ways in which Hardy, astonishingly creative even into his mid-80s, worked persistently with ideas towards so many of the poems which were gathered into the remarkable final volume, Winter Words. With particular value from a biographical standpoint, we can catch tantalising glimpses of the mind of a genius work.
a fascinating and thought-provoking miscellany of images and observations
