A tribute to the novels of Thomas Hardy, as they have been adapted for film and television. I tried to include as many as I could find (and the ones that are available on Region 1 DVD), using Annie Briggs' rendition of the traditional English folk song "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme" (a slightly shorter version than is in the 2015 version of "Far From The Madding Crowd") and a song by Enaid from the album "Avalon". These characters created by Hardy are often people who are unconventional in a time when such non-conformity was frowned upon; others had to deal with the tragic hand of fate and hardship. Tragedy, romance, love, death, hope, desolation, yet the beauty and bleakness of nature combined make these characters and stories intriguing and interesting.

my favourite rendition, by far. It's playing at the moment on the end credits of 'Alias Grace' on CBC - can't think of a more apt note to close on

Very intense writer, Hardy. And the movies whatever their other merits are also intense. And have incredibly lovely actresses. Fine compilation here.

I come back to this montage again and again. I wrote my university dissertation on Thomas Hardy and he will always be my favourite author.

Beautiful! 1:33 The Mayor of Casterbridge was my first Thomas Hardy novel years ago. Then I was hooked and had to read them all! Which novel/movie is at 1:51? This actor was in a film about King Charles II. He's so handsome! ❤️
