Sumario:'If the real Wessex, with its counties, towns, villages and topography, was no mere readily available template upon which Hardy could carve a fictional pattern, Dorchester provided a very different model, though at the level of local colour and detail, Casterbridge really is Dorchester 'by any other name'. In this study, Martin Davies examines the role which Thomas Hardy's involvement with the past plays in his life and literary work.
