ANOTHER MESSAGE:

    And to follow Elina's good news I'd like to report a new bibliographical
resource on TTHA's "MEMBERS'" page 
(http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Members/MRRHome.htm). 

   This bibliography, uploaded yesterday, has been offered to TTHA members
by Ottakers Books and includes listings of Audio-books and Study Aids as
well as biographical/topographical/critical works.

   Please also note that the *Checklist* on the "MEMBERS'" page is updated
bi-weekly   -- a magnificent resource researched and compiled by TTHA
scholars worldwide under the excellent guidance of Professor Robert Schweik
to whom we are deeply indebted 

   (TTHA's membership form can be accessed at:
http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Welcome/memform.htm)

    Grateful thanks also to Seth Lachterman for providing software
assistance for the "MEMBERS'" page.


   Cheers,

   Rosemarie

Subject: WELCOME TO NEW TTHA DIRECTOR

GREETINGS ALL!

  On behalf of TTHA team of page directors and Vice Presidents I'm delighted
to welcome aboard Professor Shannon Rogers, from St Joseph's College,
Philadelphia, who will be hosting our forthcoming *BOOK REVIEWS* page.
Shannon was voted in, unanimously, by TTHA "coreteam" some weeks ago. This
vote was then ratified (according to TTHA Bylaws) by our Board of Vice
Presidents and Directors from across the globe. 

     Shannon will be inaugurating the new *Book Reviews* page in the very
near future but at this point all we have of her is a Vice President's "box"
( http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/VPBOX/vpbox.htm) and the addition of her name
to TTHA constitution. We very much look forward to the opening of her
*Reviews* page which will fill, without a doubt, a much-needed gap in TTHA's
research resources and will be a boon to scholars and Hardy lovers worldwide. 

  Shannon Rogers --who may already be familiar to List members as a Forum
contributor-- is a unique  presence on TTHA team: she is an historian! Some
of us (myself included) belong to that hybrid variety of scholars known as
literary historians but Shannon is unalloyed: she is an historian of
literature-- notably of the works of Thomas Hardy.

 Welcome Shannon! We look forward to working with you.

 With every good wish,

  Rosemarie Morgan
  (President) 


PS I'm sure Shannon won't mind if I mention here that volunteer book
reviewers will be enthusiastically welcomed. Her email is (marvelllously!) :
goddess@psu.edu

Greetings to Rosemarie and All!

Thanks for the warm welcome.  I believe at this moment I should blushingly
point out,
before any of you think I have true pretensions to divinity, that the
"goddess" moniker
is a nickname from my husband, which he means, whatever my faults might be.
This
wins great points with most women, but gets their men in trouble for not
coming up
with a similar nickname :)  For those who prefer more prosaic emails, my
other address
is:   srogers@sju.edu

Anyway, I am working on the webpage design and content and, to second
Rosemarie's
comments below, I certainly welcome any news on upcoming books and volunteer
reviewers.

Cheers,
Shannon Rogers
