Sunning to the spines, occasional marking to the cloth, some foxing at intervals. Purdy, pp. 282-86: "The Wessex Edition is in every sense the definitive edition of Hardy's work and the last authority in questions of text".

A further four volumes of verse were published irregularly between 1919 and 1931, the final one posthumously.
