Thomas Hardy's experiments in poetic metre were rooted in dramatic developments in Victorian metrical theory, which, nurtured by the ideas of Hegel and theories of Gothic architecture, represented the first mature understanding of the abstract nature of the metrical form. This is the first book to explore the enormous range of Thomas Hardy's metrical poetry, providing also a history of metrical theory and its climax in the Victorian period. Taylor includes a metrical glossary of Hardy's stanzas, the most exhaustive metrical glossary available, and explores the visual nature of the stanza in both traditional and free verse.

History & Criticism

Oxford University Press

This is a study of the development of skill and maturity in Hardy's poetry which climaxed in his lyric poems. The author's examination reveals that the lyrics were a synthesis of the traditions of the major Romantic lyric, architectural theory, the late Gothic novel, painting and theories of art, philosophy, the Victorian novel, ballads, theories of the grotesque, the folklore of ghosts, essays on war and traditions of pastoral. Also contributing to this form of poetry, which the author contends was one of the great intellectual and artistic achievements of Victorian and modern times, was Hardy's discovery of the deep connections between the plot of Victorian life and his own, both of which were caught up in 50 year old dreams soon to be interrupted by the realities of 1912-1914. The author also wrote " Hardy's Metres And Victorian Prosody".
