Thomas Hardy Website Links

In my trawls through the Internet I have been able to locate some very worthwhile Thomas Hardy sites set up by associations or keen enthusiasts. Here is a selection of my particular favourites.

1	The Thomas Hardy Association The site is maintained by an international group of scholars devoted to the works of the great English novelist and poet, Thomas Hardy. The Thomas Hardy Association www.yale.edu/hardysoc voted ‘the best literary site on the internet’ by the Internet Directory, was founded in 1997 to promote the study and appreciation of Hardy’s writings in every corner of the world. Many of its vice-presidents and members are also long-standing members of the Hardy Society. The President is Professor Rosemarie Morgan.
2	Thomas Hardy Online A well hosted site detailing discussions and event pages.
3	The Thomas Hardy Resource Library is a site devoted to the life and works of Thomas Hardy. Whether you are a scholar, a student, or you just enjoy reading Hardy, my hope is that you'll find something of value here. I've added some new areas and bulked up some of the existing areas. There's room for anything Hardy here, so any ideas you have regarding this page, its contents, and possible links are appreciated.
4	Thomas Hardy Miscellany This site consists of four sections. The first is a series of articles -- essays, reflections, narratives, poems, and so on -- devoted to aspects of Hardy's life and works. For several years the Miscellany was a zine, and now this section represents the archived editions of that effort.
5	The Thomas Hardy Society The Thomas Hardy Society was established in 1968, the fortieth anniversary of Thomas Hardy’s death. Its aim was to make his work better known and to bring together those who enjoy his books, want to know them better, and would like to meet others who share their interest.
6	Thomas Hardy Country A photographic tour.
7	Thomas Hardy's World The "Thomas Hardy's World" web site is the product of three seminars, jointly taught at three liberal arts colleges. Prof. Suzanne Johnson Flynn, at Gettysburg College, and Prof. Patricia O'Hara, at Franklin & Marshall College, came together to construct a syllabus which both would follow for their Thomas Hardy Seminars in the fall 1996 semester. Later, Prof. Ashton Nichols, at Dickinson College, joined the collaboration by creating a seminar which would focus on the works of both Hardy and William Wordsworth. All three seminars were linked in a number of ways. Students in all seminars were encouraged to join a Thomas Hardy listserv, an electronic bulletin board which served as a forum for students' ideas, questions, research interests or problems, etc. In addition, the faculty seminar leaders from each campus made two "video visits" to the other campuses, allowing students at each campus to benefit from the expertise of different faculty members. Finally, the faculty and students from the three seminars collaborated on the construction of this site.
