In his later years, Hardy focused mainly on poetry creation. He wrote 918 poems, including "The Laughing Stock of Time", "Instant Satire", "The Moment of Illusion", "Small Scenes of Life", "Winter Talk" and other poetry collections. The content is mostly based on daily experience, exploring life with mixed joys and sorrows, and experimenting with various changes in stanzas. It is cleverly written and meaningful, and has an important influence on modernist poetry. The epic drama "Kings" that he created in his later years, with the theme of the European Allied Forces' war against Napoleon, can be regarded as an artistic summary of his creation. In addition, there are short and medium story collections such as "The Wessex Tales", "A Group of Ladies", "Life's Little Ironies" and "A Changed Man".
