This fascinating book tells the story of Thomas Hardy?s Wessex. Accompanying a multi-venue exhibition, it explores Hardy?s life and work.00Internationally-acclaimed writer Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) is best known for his evocative depictions of the West Country landscape and its people, a region that he called ?Wessex?. What is less well-known is that this landscape also inspired him in many other aspects of his life, from campaigning for animal welfare to questioning the way society viewed women. This publication accompanies a blockbuster, multi-venue exhibition of the largest collection of Thomas Hardy memorabilia ever to be displayed at once.?00Hardy was born in the West Country, a few years after Queen Victoria came to the throne, and spent most of the rest of his life among its landscapes and people. When he turned writer, these landscapes and people re-emerged as his ?partly-real, partly-dream country? of Wessex, in novels like Tess of the d?Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd and Jude the Obscure.00Exhibition: Dorset Museum, Dorchester & Poole Museum & Salisbury Museum & Wiltshire Museum, Devizes, UK (28.05. ? 30.10.2022)
