His books have inspired all generations since they were written and he remains one of the most popular of English novelists and poets. Today we may walk in his world and, following his footsteps and those of his characters over windswept uplands and through quiet villages, we become aware that remarkably little has changed since Hardy was born at Higher Bockhampton near Dorchester in 1840. This travel guide features 18 walking tours of Thomas Hardy's England illustrated with photographs and maps. Each of the 18 chapters takes a different aspect of Hardy?s life and discusses his work against the background which inspired it. The book is illustrated with contemporary prints and over 35 photographs which were specially taken to complement the text.* This is a VG copy of the 1st. impression of the 2nd. revised edition with considerable shelf wear.* 0
