[Hardy-l] Hardy's quote on personal nature of poetry vs. novels

[Tony Fincham]

Hi Lauren,

The statement was made by Florence Hardy, not Thomas himself but - after a quick search I can't find the source:

'there is more autobiography in a single poem than in the whole of his fiction'

all best

Tony Fincham.

  Hello,

  I'm desperately looking for the passage in which Hardy states that there's more about him in a few lines of his verse than in his novels, or something of the sort. If anyone has the exact quote, and its location in Hardy's bibliography (notebooks, letters?), I would be truly grateful for their help!

  Thank you,

  Lauren
