pretty good readings of Hardy's poetry


(3.5 Sterne)

This collection of Thomas Hardy's poetry is read properly and audibly by most of the readers here. As is usually the case with Librivox readings of English poetry collections, a dearth of Englishness in many of the readers voices is distractingly noticeable, but it's not a big problem here. It's an above-average reading, all said.
