LibriVox volunteers bring you 17 recordings of A Spot by Thomas hardy. This was the Weekly Poetry project for October 18, 2026. ------ Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, he gained fame as the author of novels such as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Return of the Native (1878), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891) and Jude the Obscure (1895). During his lifetime, Hardy's poetry was acclaimed by younger poets (particularly the Georgians) who viewed him as a mentor. - Summary by Wikipedia
