Thomas Hardy London Lecture 2024

Despite the inclement weather caused by Storm Darragh at the weekend, there was a good turnout for the Thomas Hardy London Lecture at University College London.  Mark Damon Chutter, THS Chair and Academic Director, delivered a facinating presentation on `Friends Beyond: Barnes, Moule, Hardy and Fordington Vicarage'.

The lecture evaluated and re-examined the significance of William Barnes and Horace Moule as key mentors to Hardy, including the classical and literary, philosophical, religious and socio-political influences that they had on the Wessex writer and poet.
