EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scenery of Wessex, specifically the quaint town of Wareham in Dorset, England. The scene depicted in this image serves as the inspiration for Thomas Hardy's short story "The Withered Arm." The distant view showcases the rolling hills, lush greenery, and winding country roads that characterize this region of England. The town of Wareham, nestled in the valley below, is a charming blend of history and natural beauty. Its ancient walls and cobblestone streets transport visitors back in time, while the nearby river Frome and marshlands add to the area's natural allure. The model for the fictional village of Anglebury in Hardy's story, Wareham's quaint charm and timeless quality have captivated readers for generations. The photograph's composition, with the town nestled amidst the rolling hills and surrounded by the natural beauty of the countryside, perfectly encapsulates the essence of Hardy's Wessex. This photograph, taken in 1906, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the world that inspired one of literature's most beloved authors. The image invites us to explore the stories and history that lie hidden within the hills and valleys of Wessex, and to appreciate the enduring beauty of this corner of England.
