Satires of Circumstance, Lyrics and Reveries, with Miscellaneous Pieces by Hardy

"Satires of Circumstance, Lyrics and Reveries, with Miscellaneous Pieces" by Thomas Hardy is a poetry collection published in 1914. The volume contains 15 satirical sketches, 39 miscellaneous lyrics, and 34 lyrics and reveries, along with the celebrated "Poems of 1912–13" sequence mourning Hardy's wife Emma—considered his finest poetic work. From philosophical meditations like "Wessex Heights" to contemporary observations in "Channel Firing," the collection showcases Hardy's range while exploring loss, memory, and the ironies of human existence with what one critic called "the subtle disturbing force of poetry."
