Review
Samuel Hynes's task has been formidable...On each page of these two volumes there is clear evidence of Samuel Hynes's meticulous scholarship and enormous dedication. the textual variants alone are extraordinarily large in number, but Professor Hynes has supplemented them with explanatory notes, fascinating introductions, and a series of useful appendices.
`meticulous edition' Times Literary Supplement
`With Volumes IV and V Samuel Hynes completes his immensely painstaking, definitive edition of Hardy's 'poetical works', begun in 1982. The effect is to throw the text, as Hynes establishes it, into clear relief. He does, indeed, establish it: his 'editorial task' has been to reconcile the several differing editions.' English Studies, Volume 77, Number 3, May 1996
