"Satires of Circumstance: Lyrics & Reveries with Miscellaneous Pieces" by Thomas Hardy is a poetic collection that unveils the Victorian novelist's lyrical prowess and his contemplative exploration of the human condition. Published in the early 20th century, this anthology showcases Hardy's versatility as a writer, transitioning from prose fiction to the realms of verse with poetic finesse. At the heart of this collection are the "Satires of Circumstance," a series of poems that delve into the complexities of life, love, and the inexorable influence of external forces. Hardy's lyricism is likely marked by a nuanced understanding of the inherent ironies and contradictions that shape human existence. The poems may embody a satirical lens, offering readers a reflective commentary on the quirks of fate and the interplay of societal norms. Intertwined with the satirical elements are Hardy's "Lyrics & Reveries," which likely delve into the realm of personal reflections and introspections. These pieces may showcase the poet's keen observations of nature, his contemplation of love's joys and sorrows, and his musings on the transient nature of time.
Autorenporträt
Thomas Hardy OM (2 June 1840 ¿ 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain, such as those from his native South West England. 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.
