Craig Raine est un poète et critique distingué dont l'œuvre se caractérise par un langage précis et une perspicacité aiguë de l'expérience humaine.

Son écriture est décrite comme innovante et littérairement ambitieuse, ce qui en fait une voix importante de la poésie britannique contemporaine.

From its spectacular opening–the astonishing scene in which drunken Michael Henchard sells his wife and daughter to a passing sailor at a county fair–to the breathtaking series of discoveries at its conclusion, The Mayor of Casterbridge claims a unique place among Thomas Hardy’s finest and most powerful novels.

Proud, obsessed, ultimately committed to his own destruction, Henchard is, as Albert Guerard has said, “Hardy’s Lord Jim…his only tragic hero and one of the greatest tragic heroes in all fiction.
