About This Item
London: Macmillan & Co, 1927. Signed limited edition, one of 525 examples. Quarto, bound in half vellum over boards. Signed by Thomas Hardy in volume I. In fine condition. An exceptional set. George Orwell wrote that Hardy had "set free his genius" by writing this drama and thought its main appeal was "in the grandiose and rather evil vision of armies marching and counter-marching through the mists, and men dying by hundreds of thousands in the Russian snows, and all for absolutely nothing." Hardy himself described this work as "an epic-drama of the war with Napoleon, in three parts, nineteen acts and one hundred and thirty scenes."
