An excellent and most readable review of an excellent and most readable book! As Mark Simon points out Davis' book inspires one to go back to Hardy over and over again -- (as does Mark Simon himself). Fascinating -- and of major importance given that Hardy was a legal presence (magistrate and grand juror) in Dorchester for longer than he was a novelist.
Thank you one and all--
Rosemarie

Dear All
I'm afraid I have more bad news from the conservation front. Dorset County Council has put forward a plan to build a by-pass 100 yards from Woolbridge (Wellbridge) Manor. This new road will start at a roundabout by the old bridge and will run along the south bank of the Frome cutting back onto the A352 at East Burton. The aim is to by-pass the level crossing which the Council consider to be a 'bottleneck' (I have never had to wait there very long!) The new road will be built up by two metres as it is on the flood plain of the Frome. The road is very likely to go ahead as the Weld Estate (Lulworth Castle) have sold off land for housing (180 houses I believe) and part of the deal for planning permission is that the developers pay towards this road. I am afraid that, as usual, we have heard about the present consultation period very late in the day but I have been told that at the moment it is not the quality of objections that count but the quantity. I can assure you that the plan will ruin Tess's ancestral home. Objections must be in by 31 September. If you want to view the plan I have put it up on the Hardy Society website at the following page: http://www.hardysociety.org/images/W2a.jpg The address to write to if you have an objection is: Transport Planning Team, Planning Division, Environmental Services, Dorchester, DT1 1XJ, UK. Their e-mail is ptsconsultation@dorsetcc.gov.uk. Tel: (0) 1305 228534

Subject: Joining TTHA's Checklist Team
Date: September 20, 2004 11:58:51 AM PDT
This is a call for TTHA members to join the international
team of fifteen compilers who jointly are responsible for
keeping the Checklist up to date.
Presently we need compilers who would be able to cover
one or more of the following journals:
English: The Journal of the English Association
The Journal of English Language and Literature
Journal of English Studies
Journal of the Eighteen Nineties Society
Journal of the English Association (Scotland)
Literary Research/Recherche Litterarie
Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada
Sexuality and Literature
Short Story
Stockholm Studies in English
Studies in Language and Literature
Studies in Short Fiction
The duties of compilers are not onerous. Every other month they check the
journals for which they are responsible and report to me, the current
Checklist coordinator, any publications related to Hardy--a full bibliographic
citation and, if possible, a brief descriptive annotation.
I would very much welcome inquiries from any TTHA members who have access
to one or more of the journals listed above and who would wish to join the team.
I can be reached at either of the addresses below.

I have just posted the following to the Reviews Page:
John Farrell's sharp review of Ralph Pite's Hardy's Geography. This review is the second on this particular title and Farrell's perspective pairs well with the previously posted review by Phillip Mallett.
