Satires of Circumstance

Satires of Circumstance is a collection of poems by English poet Thomas Hardy, and was published in 1914. It includes the 18 poem sequence "Poems of 1912-13", on the death of Hardy's wife Emma, widely regarded to comprise the best work of his poetic career.

The sequence was extended to the now-classic 21 poems in Collected Poems of 1919.
