Many giants of literature originate from the shores of Britain's emerald isles—Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaucer, The Bront├½s, and Austen among them. Thomas Hardy is also rightfully included; his works Far from the Madding Crowd, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, The Mayor of Casterbridge are but three of his literary masterpieces. Lesser known, but just as brilliant, are his poems. Hardy himself thought he was a poet who wrote novels purely for the money. Indeed his poems were not published until he was in his fifties, after his major novels were published and his reputation set. Today, his poetry stands on its own merits.
