THE THOMAS HARDY SOCIETY (President: The Earl of Stockton)
The Society welcomes anyone interested in Hardy's writings, his life and his times, and it takes pride in the way in which at its meetings people come together in a harmony which would have delighted Hardy himself. Among its members are many distinguished literary and academic figures, and many more who love and enjoy Hardy's work sufficiently to wish to meet fellow enthusiasts and develop their appreciation of it. Members receive copies of The Thomas Hardy Journal which is published three times a year and is regarded as the leading source of Hardy studies. Lectures, guided tours and walks in Hardy's Wessex, and other events take place throughout the year, and there is a biennial conference in Dorchester which brings together students from all over the world. For information about the Society please write to: The Thomas Hardy Society P. 0. Box 1438 Dorchester
