HARDY FORUM ARCHIVE H01091 11/01/01 "NOVEMBER 2001 ANNOUNCEMENTS" ================================================================== Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 09:13:37 -0800 From: Betty Cortus Subject: Call For Reviews Dear List members, It is with pleasure I announce that Professor Shannon Rogers, the TTHA Reviews Page Director, is near to completion with the launching of the TTHA Reviews Page. She welcomes critical reviews of works by or about Hardy for publication on the new page. Please send in WORD to: goddess@psu.edu Many Thanks, Betty Cortus ========== Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2001 14:54:26 -0600 From: Bill Morgan Subject: TTHA Poem of the Month for November Earlier today I posted Hardy's "To Shakespeare: After Three Hundred Years" as the TTHA Poem of the Month for November, 2001. This discussion will be the fourth 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 this celebration 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). The discussions of "Nature's Questioning," "The Mother Mourns," "The Subalterns," "The Lacking Sense," "In a Wood," "To Outer Nature," "June Leaves and Autumn," "Wagtail and Baby," "On a Midsummer Eve," "Afterwards," "Shut Out That Moon," "The Last Chrysanthemum," "The Year's Awakening," "The Night of the Dance" "The Dark-Eyed Gentleman," "She At His Funeral," "Her Confession," "Tess's Lament," "The Pine-Planters," "The Pink Frock," "The Beauty," "I Rose and Went to Rou'tor Town," "An Upbraiding," "The Chapel-Organist," "A Sunday-Morning Tragedy," "A Trampwoman's Tragedy," "The Last Signal," "Rome: At the Pyramid of Cestius Near the Graves of Shelley and Keats," "Shelley's Skylark," "At a House in Hampstead," and "At Lulworth Cove a Century Back" (January 2000 through October 2001), however, are still open, and your contributions are invited. Welcome to the November 2001 TTHA Poem of the Month Discussion. cheers, Bill Morgan ========== Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 20:28:15 -0500 From: Rosemarie Morgan Subject: Re:Apology Greetings all: After the glory that was Sotheby's I now beg your indulgence -- for an ignominy! TTHA's Occasional Series, Volume II, *The Emma Poems* has a misprint/omission in Professor William W. Morgan "Preface." Please therefore insert into your copy the following line -- "....are all implicit responses to the fact that the...." between "...and they..." [ ix ] and "...Association's Poem of the Month..." [ x] I will ensure that all future copies are sent out with a note to cover this errata. I offer my sincere apologies to Bill. With every good wish, Rosemarie Morgan ========== From: "Martin Hemming" To: "HARDY-L@csusm.edu>, Subject: Virus alert Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 15:47:48 -0000 I suffered a virus attack earlier today.

My tech helpers at Cal State U San Marcos assure me that their fire wall caught the virus. They assure me we are safe from a current virus which is doing the rounds. However, this is a reminder to subscribers not to send e-attachments with their messages. If any do come to the list it would be advisable not to open them.

See http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html which lectures us sternly about passing on warnings. "It Takes Guts to Say Jesus" is in their list. Though a hoax, it has ironically become a kind of virus, given that it has managed to replicate itself manifold and globally, presumably the creator's intention. Incidentally, the above site has a striking lack of a sense of humour - see its remarks on the "Irish virus" . Philip ==========
