| Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2003 21:37:05 -0500 From: Bill Morgan <wwmorgan@mail.ilstu.edu> Subject:TTHA Poem of the Month for October Earlier this evening I posted Hardy's "Agnosto Theo" as the TTHA Poem of the Month for October, 2003. This discussion will be the second in a series dedicated to the poems that appear last in Hardy's 8 volumes of verse. I invite your contributions to an on-line conversation about the poem--and the idea of ending--over the course of the month. As usual, 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://webboard.ilstu.edu/~TTHA_POTM_DISCUSSIONS Whichever route you take, when you arrive at the Poem of the Month site, you will encounter a program called WebBoard, 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. 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 WebBoard. 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. Besides this month's discussion and those of January ("Winter Night in Woodland"), February ("Ice on the Highway"), March ("A Light Snow-Fall After Frost"), April ("The Sheep-Boy"), May ("A Sheep Fair" and "Last Look round St. Martin's Fair"), June ("A Backward Spring," "Last Week in October," and "Shortening Days at the Homestead"), July ("No Buyers" and "An East-End Curate"), August ("Life and Death at Sunrise"), and September ("I Look Into My Glass"), a full year of conversations in 2002 about some of Hardy's sonnets are available at the site: April ("Hap"), May ("At a Lunar Eclipse"), June ("She, to Him, I-IV"), July ("Her Reproach" and "Her Confession"), August ("To an Actress" and "To an Impersonator of Rosalind"), September ("In the Old Theatre, Fiesole," "Rome: On the Palatine," and "Rome: Building a New Street in the Ancient Quarter"), October ("Embarcation" and "Departure), November ("The Pity of It" and "Often When Warring"), and December ("We Are Getting to the End" and "Thoughts from Sophocles"). The discussions of Hardy's memorial and holiday poems from August 2001 ("The Last Signal"), September ("Rome: At the Pyramid of Cestius" and "Shelley's Skylark"), October ("At a House in Hampstead" and "At Lulworth Cove a Century Back"), November ("To Shakespeare: After Three Hundred Years"), December ("Lausanne: In Gibbon's Old Garden" and "George Meredith"), January 2002 ("A New Year's Eve in War Time"), February ("The Oxen"), March ("A Drizzling Easter Morning") are also posted at the site and open for contributions until sometime later in the year when they will be edited for publication in *The Hardy Review*. The discussions of poems with female narrators ("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," and "A Trampwoman's Tragedy") have just been published in *The Hardy Review*, V. All of the older discussions will remain posted at the site until such time as they are edited and published in either *The Hardy Review* or in one of TTHA's Occasional Papers. 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). 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," and "The Night of the Dance" have been edited and published in *The Hardy Review*, IV (Summer 2001). All of these publications are available free or at a discounted price to TTHA members and may be ordered by others using an on-line form available at the main TTHA page (see the URL above). Welcome to the TTHA Poem of the Month Discussion for October of 2003. cheers, Bill Morgan |

I have just posted Rosemarie Morgan's very provocative review of Penny Boumelha's contribution to Palgrave Macmillan's "New Casebooks" Series, Jude the Obscure. The Reviews Page is located in the MRR site of the TTHA pages, and can be accessed through the MRR link on the TTHA front page: <http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Welcome/welcomet.htm>http<http://www.yale.edu/hard ysoc/Welcome/welcomet.htm>://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Welcome/welcomet.htm I would like to invite responses from any author whose work has been reviewed on the page, past or present. Because the Reviews Page is on the MRR site, and requires password access, if you are one of the authors in question and are not a TTHA member, I can provide a copy of the review of your work to you upon request. If you are a member, but do not have your access number, or if you are interested in becoming a member of TTHA, please contact Rosemarie Morgan: rosemarie.morgan@yale.edu If you are an author or publisher and would like to submit materials for review, please contact me at: shannon.rogers@sju.edu A selection of reviews posted to the site will eventually be published formally in print. Best, Shannon Shannon L. Rogers General Editor Book Reviews Page The Thomas Hardy Association shannon.rogers@sju.edu |

First, when you reply to previous postings please delete the earlier material, as this can rapidly overfill members' mailboxes, and makes for a great deal of extra work for our stalwart archivist. You may, however, retain a small part of an earlier post if it is really necessary to clarify your own. Secondly, please do your fellow members the courtesy of signing your name to your messages. Your cooperation will be appreciated. Best Wishes, Betty Cortus |

Send an e-mail to: HARDY-L-request@mailhost1.csusm.edu and write the word unsubscribe in the subject line. Do not write anything in the body of the message or you will invalidate your attempt. Many Thanks, Betty Cortus |
