What is Thomas Hardy : distracted preacher? : Hardy's religious biography and its influence on his novels about?

The completion of this project would not have been possible without the help of many people. There is space to mention too few: librarians and archivists, especially Mr R.N. R. Peers, who dealt courteously with innumerable queries; typists, especially Vanessa Joseph, who struggled with a hinting hand; surprised descendants of the clergymen Hardy knew, in particular Miss Mary Frampton, and Major J. E. Shirley, who has the distinction of being both Arthur Shirley's great-great-grandson and his great-great-great-nephew; many friends, who provided accommodation, or checked facts or typescripts with humour and patience; and the Provost and Fellows of Oriel College, Oxford, who gave splendid accommodation in which to finish the project -particularly Reggie Burton, who generously provided the wherewithal for them to do so. My fiancee Jane's involvement with the law and devotion to matters sporting helped me from losing a sense of perspective, and her from feeling a Hardy widow whilst waiting a little overlong to become a Hands wife.The book has been thoroughly checked. I am responsible, and regretful, for any errors which remain; and grateful to a thorough team of readers, Lennart Bjork,
