Although the couple had been estranged for years, after her death Hardy fell under Emma’s spell again and was enthralled by her as he hadn’t been in decades. He transformed his hopelessly revived love into poetry, pouring out his yearning and passionate attachment to a love forever lost.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Poems of 1912–13” and the other elegies about Emma included in this volume have been read and discussed by poets and scholars for almost a century but never collected in their own book. Their accessibility, emotional power, and focus on the mysterious complexities of marriage make them of interest to a broad public. Readers will cherish this beautifully produced, illustrated volume of poetical testaments to enduring love.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Hardy\u003c\/b\u003e (1840–1928), enduring author of the twentieth century, wrote the classics \u003ci\u003eJude the Obscure\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTess of the d'Urbervilles\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFar from the Madding Crowd\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Return of the Native\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mayor of Casterbridge\u003c\/i\u003e, and many other works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClaire Tomalin\u003c\/b\u003e’s books include \u003ci\u003eThomas Hardy: The Time Torn Man\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of Thomas Hardy\u003c\/i\u003e.
