Lecture: Thomas Hardy: then and now

Join us as we explore what the world looked like in the 19th Century and the parallels we can draw with today. Indeed the challenges people faced are similar to now. Hardy’s parents scrimped and saved to pay for his education to the age of 16 and he never lost his thirst for knowledge. He developed strong views on many of the topics of the day including equality, education and class, many of which are still very relevant today. As the WEA celebrates its 120th anniversary in 2023, in this talk, we’ll consider Hardy the man rather than the writer and what was happening in his life towards the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
