Hardy is a poet whose ambiguities will live on (if that isn't already a tautology), so these readings, lively they may be, are unlikely to stop me wondering how Hardy would have read them...
Will that ever-elusive recording of Hardy reading (by the law of averages there must be one, even if it isn't mentioned in the Life) turn up one day?
Gary Watson is the reader for this album of recordings made for the Open University.
