Thomas Hardy's World Thomas Hardy's World is a comprehensive site providing information on the publication, content, and reception of Hardy's novels, poetry, and short fiction, a substantial timeline of Hardy's life with links to photos documenting its major events, a section called "Thomas Hardy and the Land," including photographic and textual aids to understanding some of the themes that run through Hardy's work, a page of links, a page of resources, and more. Of particular interest is the following page, "Contexts," which tries to provide a cultural context for Hardy's works by examining such things as folklore, religion, the sciences, the arts, class divisions, and gender relations as they exisited in Hardy's time. | |
