Harper's wrote that Wessex Poems and Other Verses represented "the poetical works of Mr. Hardy during several years, and all deal with Wessex country life, the beauty of which is so successfully pictured in his prose works. There is, however, a certain added value of description to these poems over prose which might naturally be expected from an author whose great ability as a descriptive writer is combined with distinct and rare poetic sense."
