The Wessex Project: Thomas Hardy, Architect

Focusing on Thomas Hardy's lesser-known contributions beyond his iconic Max Gate, this book explores his role as an architect of ideas and landscapes. It argues that Hardy's influence extends to shaping perceptions and experiences of the world through various forms, not just buildings. Accompanied by a rich collection of his drawings, the narrative illustrates how he crafted the Wessex region with the same thoughtful consideration as an architect, revealing the depth of his creative vision.
