In addition to the usual scrupulous annotation and extensive cross-referencing, chronology, and recipient index, this final volume contains a number of earlier letters that became available too late to be included in earlier editions and a General Index covering texts and annotations found throughout the series.

About the Author

An English Victorian author of novels, poems, and short stories, Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) is best known for the classic books Far from the Madding Crowd, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure. Set mostly in the semi-imagined region of Wessex, Hardy’s fictional works retain their popularity thanks to an accessible style, Romantic plots, and richly drawn characters.
