Description
HARDY, Thomas (1840-1928). The Wessex Novels. London: Osgood, McIlvaine and Co., 1895-97.

FIRST UNIFORM AND COLLECTED EDITION, specially edited by Hardy prior to publication. "Osgood, McIlvaine's edition is an important one. The text of every novel was thoroughly and carefully revised, the topography (names and distances) corrected where necessary, chapters frequently retitled, and much rewriting done. In addition Hardy prepared a special preface for each volume..." (Purdy, p. 281). Originally issued in 16 volumes, a few others were published later and added including The Well-Beloved (1897) seen here.
