(HARDY, THOMAS). HARDY, Florence Emily. The Early Life of Thomas Hardy 1840-1891. Compiled Largely From Contemporary Notes, Letters, Diaries, and Biographical Memoranda, as well as from Oral Information in Conversations Extending over many Years. Illustrated, original cloth, dust jacket. London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., 1928. First edition. Purdy notes (pp. 263-273) that this volume is "in reality an autobiography. Though Mrs. Hardy's name stands on the titlepage, her work was confined to a few editorial touches, and the writing is throughout Hardy's own." Very good.
