Does anybody know a good article (on the internet if possible) about Hardy's 
technique to write a novel? What is typical for Hardy's writing technique 
(for novels) or what are the most common features of his novel structures?

Thanks a lot.
Joseph Manconi

Dear Joseph,

You could try the web-site of Mitsu Matsuoka (University of nagoya), who is
very knowledgeable on Anglo-Japanese literary topics. There is a lot of work
done on Hardy in Japan, and Mitsu has many Anglophile contacts. I would
suggest that you ask him to pass on your query to the appropriate party.

I tried our VP in Osaka, Japan, Professor Sumiko Inoue, and she regrets
that she has:

"never met Yasunori Sugimura as he is not a member 
of the Thomas Hardy Society of Japan. 
I don't know <Shiron >. It seems a periodical among 
a very limited member. 
I'll try to ask some of my friends, but I have no good 
view at present as it is too old article."

Good Luck!
Rosemarie

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email.  I am not sure how you got hold of my email
address, especially as I am not a publisher and have no catalogue or
samples.  I did write two practice books for FCE.  The two books covewred
two parts of the syllabus.  Two books written by other people covered the
rest of the syllabus.  If required, I could supply you with a number of
these books.  Otherwise, you may like to contact Bell who have formed all
four books into a practice course which is available online.  Their web page
is www.bellenglish.com

Best wishes,

Brian Orpet

Subject: Late entry in the contest?

         I see that someone is offering one of Hardy's novels on ebay under the auction title:
 
                 OLD NOVEL-ADVENTURE WESTERN-THOMAS HARDY OLDE 
 
 Curious to see which novel might be seen this way, I checked, and to my surprise found that the seller is auctioning a 1922 student's edition of . . .  The Return of the Native!  Clym, Damon, Diggory and Eustacia armed and on horseback?  Mrs. Yeobright bitten by a sidewinder?  
 
         Perhaps this is a misguided late entry for Rosemarie's contest from last month.  
 
                                                         cheers,
 
                                                         Bill Morgan
