This collection, published in 1909, exemplifies Hardy's characteristic themes of time, fate, and human folly through a blend of melancholic beauty and ironic wit. His lyrical style plunges readers into the emotional landscapes of love, loss, and the inexorable march of time, all while employing meter and rhyme that evoke the traditional English poetic form. Hardy's keen observational prowess starkly critiques the societal norms of his era, providing a rich literary context steeped in early 20th-century uncertainties and the philosophical undercurrents of modernism. Thomas Hardy, an esteemed English novelist and poet, was profoundly influenced by his rural upbringing and personal experiences. A lifelong fascination with the human condition and nature, combined with his academic efforts in architecture, shaped his narrative and lyrical perspectives. His contemplative insights on the vicissitudes of life are quintessentially reflected in his poetry, establishing him as a significant figure in the canon of English literature. "Time's Laughingstocks" is a must-read for anyone captivated by poetry that reflects life's deeper truths.

Sobre l'autor
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet, whose work is renowned for its portrayal of the rural life in his native county of Dorset, and its sensitivity to the upheavals of the Victorian era. Trained as an architect, Hardy turned to writing in his early thirties, weaving the pastoral landscape with a profound psychological depth and a keen perception of social mores. His poetic collections, such as 'Time's Laughingstocks, and Other Verses' (1909), demonstrate his mastery of verse and a preoccupation with themes of love, social hierarchy, and the inexorable passage of time. Hardy's verse often reflects the tragic tones and the naturalistic style found in his prose, as he explores the human condition with a palpable sense of fatalism and the inexorable forces of fate. Although better known for his novels, like 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' and 'Far from the Madding Crowd', Hardy considered himself primarily a poet. His literary contributions have left an indelible mark on English literature, influencing a range of subsequent writers and poets. Hardy's work is characterized by a deep pessimism, which nevertheless touches upon the resilience of the human spirit in the face of hardship.
