HARDY FORUM ARCHIVE H01080 10/01/01 "OCTOBER 2001 ANNOUNCEMENTS" ================================================================ Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2001 17:28:24 -0500 From: Bill Morgan Subject: TTHA Poem(s) of the Month for October Earlier today I posted Hardy's "At a House in Hampstead" and "At Lulworth Cove a Century Back," his two commemorative poems for John Keats, as the TTHA Poems of the Month for October, 2001. This discussion will be the third in a series dedicated to Hardy's poetic tributes to his fellow writers. I invite your contributions to a month-long, on-line conversation about these celebrations of the work of one of Hardy's favorite predecessors. You can find the TTHA Poem of the Month Discussion by following the links from the main TTHA page at http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Welcome/welcomet.htm or by going directly to http://netforum.ilstu.edu/cgi-bin/netforum/ths/a/1/ Whichever route you take, when you arrive at the Poem of the Month site, you will encounter a program called NetForum which will give you the opportunity to read the poems as well as any comments they may have generated, compose a response, preview your response, edit it further if you wish, and then post it by using the button labeled Post the Message. (*DON'T use the Reset Message button*; you will lose your work.) If you are composing an intricate or long response, you may want to prepare your message in a word processing program, then copy it to your clipboard before pasting it into the message area of NetForum. And if you prefer, feel free to send me your contribution as an e-mail, and I will post it for you: wwmorgan@ilstu.edu. The discussions for February, 1998 through November 1999 have been "closed" and their contents edited and published in *The Hardy Review* [I:1 (July 1998) and 2:1 (Summer 1999)]. Likewise, the conversations from 1999 about the "Emma" poems have been published as the second of the TTHA Occasional Series. And those concerning "Channel Firing," "Satires of Circumstance in 15 Glimpses," "After the Visit," "To Meet, or Otherwise," and "A Singer Asleep" have been published in *The Hardy Review*, III (Summer 2000). All of these publications are available and may be ordered using a form available at the main TTHA page (see the URL above).

Membership in NCSA is not required for submission to the journal. The broad diversity of the NCSA membership and NCS readership should, however, be borne in mind. Members of NCSA include scholars whose disciplinary focus ranges from art, architecture, and literature to religious, scientific, and legal writing to social, political, and economic debate. NCS has been published annually since 1987. More information about the journal can be found on its webpage: http://www.selu.edu/ncs. Scholars in all areas of nineteenth-century studies are encouraged to submit essays for consideration by the journal. For hard-copy submissions, please send 2 copies of essays of 6,000 to 12,000 words, including notes. Essays must conform to the Chicago Manual of Style (fourteenth edition) with all documentation appearing in notes at the end of the manuscript. Author's name and affiliation must appear only on a separate title page (to facilitate blind review by readers). Include SASE covering at least the cost of our reply. Same requirements, except for multiple copies of manuscript, hold for email submissions; reply will be by email. NCS cannot review manuscripts submitted simultaneously to other journals. In keeping with our interdisciplinary focus, we publish review essays only, and not reviews of individual publications. Review essays must be at least 2,500 words and often run much longer. Typically, review essays are solicited; however, we welcome inquiries. Direct all submissions and editorial inquiries to the following addresses: David C.

I'd just finished sending out over 50 e-mails on this project and I guess I must have been e-dizzy. I have just repaired these links -- now all should be happily married. I have to say how charmed I was by your gentle e-mails to me, over the weekend, pointing out this error. Not a single complaint! Most of you humbly assumed that the fault lay at your own end, instead of mine -- how good you all are! Thank you so much for your forbearance and goodwill. (DCM: http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/OrderForms/Hardy%20Appeal.html) Incidentally, for those who couldn't open the 2nd document containing information on the Call for Symposium Papers for the TH conference, 2002, I should say that the flyer comes in WORD 2000 and that those of you who have WORD 95 or 6.0 may not be able to open it. I'll work on this and get back to those who have emailed me about this. Thank you again for your patience and understanding, With every good wish, Rosemarie Morgan ========== From: purpleg4@yahoo.com Subject: Re: Mass exodus begins on November 4, 2001 Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2001 20:16:18 URGENT BREAKING NEWS -- Please Read and Forward From: Gospel for Asia & the All India Christian Council More Information: http://www.gfa.org/revival Request Free Book: http://www.gfa.org/frb1 Dalit Video Clip: http://www.gfa.org/revival/media.html Dear Friends in Christ, I canāt overstate the importance and urgency of this email regarding the probability of a revival that could begin in India on November 4, 2001. Three hundred million Dalits (low-caste "untouchables") are on the verge of leaving the caste system. This is a gateway for us to present the Gospel to these millions and more! Over the past few months, high-level leaders representing no less than 300 million Dalits have been in dialogue with the All India Christian Council. (The AICC is the largest Evangelical network in India with membership of over 2,000 mission organizations, denominations and other Christian entities.) Their simple request was: "The only way for our people to find freedom from 3,000 years of slavery is to quit the caste system and embrace another faith. Christianity offers hope for us. We are happy for our people to become Christians... Can you help us?" This request culminated in a historic meeting on September 7, 2001 in Hyderabad, India where over 740 of the top evangelical leaders from across India met with 26 top Dalit leaders to discuss how this movement should be handled. Dr. Joseph D'Souza and Dr. K.P. Yohannan (president of Gospel for Asia) give leadership to the AICC which is committed to mobilize the Church body to respond to this most urgent challenge. Gospel for Asia is one of the largest church planting movements in the subcontinent and has been busy taking concrete steps to respond to this move of God. This mass exodus begins on November 4, 2001. One this date, one million low-caste Dalits are expected to meet in New Delhi, India for a mass conversion event to Buddhism. Now, by God's grace, the option of finding freedom through Christ will also be presented. Will you please stand in the gap and get involved on behalf of millions who may end up following the Lord Jesus? Please visit our website at http://www.gfa.org/revival for more information on how you can get involved. ***IMPORTANT NOTE: You can play a key part in reaching these millions of Dalits. FIRST: If this urgent message has touched your heart, please consider forwarding it to your friends, family and church so that we can encourage Christians everywhere to pray -- please copy and paste this message into a new email to ensure a quality communication. NEXT: Commit yourself to serious prayer for the Dalits of India. Sign up at http://www.gfa.org/emailupdate for weekly updates on this revival so you prayers can be specific and timely. THEN: We also need to see resources released to meet the overwhelming needs such as sending church planters, printing Bibles and producing radio broadcasts in the languages of the Dalits, etc. Please visit our website at http://www.gfa.org/revival/help.html to find out how you can help.

In the interests of free expression TTHA Forum is not moderated and is open at all times to visitors. The disadvantage of this is that we occasionally, but really only very occasionally, receive uninvited guests and I'm afraid this "Mass Exodus" posting is precisely that. I hope you'll forgive this unwarranted intrusion on our arena of free speech, Gary, and I also hope you'll continue, without hesitation, to protest -- loud and clear -- about anything that concerns you on this, our shared domain; for, to be sure, if you were concerned, so were many many others who remained silent. Thank you for speaking out-- we appreciate it! With every good wish, Rosemarie Morgan ========== From: "David Clark" Subject: RE: Mass exodus begins on November 4, 2001 Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2001 00:39:20 -0500 I think Rosemarie has clearly and fairly summed up the feelings of most of the members of the group. No apologies are necessary for the (very occasional) spam to which all groups are subjected at one time or another. Thanks once again to the THHA for providing this free and interesting forum. Best wishes from Galicia in these troubled times, Dave Clark (U.D.C.) ========== Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2001 07:59:31 -0700 From: Betty Cortus Subject: Chawton House Library Dear List Members, I have been invited to pass this message along to the Forum for the benefit of members in the New York area.

Greetings all: I want to tell you, in two short sentences about a very special, very generous, person (I wanted to post his heart-warming letter on TTHA Forum but he's a very private person and whereas he likes the idea of posting words of encouragement on the Hardy List he does insist on total anonymity). So-- all I will say is that he lives in Florida and that he has supported TTHA from its very first year of inception. He has loyally stayed with us ever since and has just ordered for his town library, his university library, and for himself, the most recent of TTHA's publications, that is, three copies of *Hardy's Emma Poems*. Bless his heart -- he writes that TTHA is matchless -- the finest literary site on the internet. Implicit in these words (his and mine) is heartfelt appreciation. To all those who make this "finest literary site" possible, thank you! With every good wish, Rosemarie Morgan ____ P.S. Who knows where the words in the subject line come from? Which TH poem? ========== Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2001 17:48:09 -0700 From: Betty and/or John Cortus Subject: Dorset Rental Dear All, Anyone looking for accomodation in Hardy Country would do well to look at a new offering on the TTHA Promotions page where you will see photos and a full description of a charming Sixteenth Century Long House available for rental. As it can accomodate three couples it would be well worth considering for members attending the Hardy Conference in Dorchester next summer. For details go the the URL below.
