EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn procession of the burial of Thomas Hardy's heart in Stinsford, Dorset, England, in January 1928. The renowned English novelist and poet, best known for his works set in Wessex, including "Under the Greenwood Tree" and "The Mayor of Casterbridge," had requested that his heart be buried in his native land among his "own people." In the image, the Reverend J.M. Sheppard, the vicar of Stinsford, solemnly carries the casket containing Hardy's heart from the church to the grave. Accompanying him are mourners, including Hardy's brother, Thomas Hardy Junior. The scene is reminiscent of the rural, pastoral settings that permeate Hardy's literature. Despite his ashes being interred at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey in London, the burial of his heart in Stinsford was an important event for the people of Dorset, who considered Hardy one of their own. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the connection between the author and his homeland, and the enduring impact of his literature on the people and place that inspired it. Taken by ILN (Illustrated London News) photographer in 1928, this image is a significant historical document, offering a glimpse into the final farewell paid to a beloved author by his community. The photograph is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for rights-managed licensing only through Mary Evans Picture Library.
