520			_a"Thomas Hardy's Dorset" by R. Thurston Hopkins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life, culture, and customs of Thomas Hardy's beloved Dorset, exploring the region's folklore, dialects, and rustic characters who inspired his novels. It aims to provide readers with insights into the social fabric and scenic beauty of Dorset, evoking the atmosphere that is so prevalent in Hardy's Wessex novels. At the start of the narrative, the author paints a vivid picture of Dorset's charm and its enduring traditions, capturing the essence of the local folk and their ways. Through anecdotes, thematically rich descriptions, and a focus on local dialect, Hopkins introduces various characters that embody the spirit of the region. He draws attention to the rustic humor of the Dorset folk, their unique dialects, and the significant customs tied to cider-making and other local practices, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of each facet of Dorset life as the book progresses.
