In Our Time

CHAPTER

Hardy's First Wife, Emma Hardy

Moxs met emma on the seventh of march in 18 70 in saint juliet, where he'd been sent by crickmay the architects of weymouth to draw up plans for the rebuilding of the church. He was entranced by her unreserved manner out of doors, her skills as a horse woman. It was four years before they could marry, in 18 74. And and emma really encouraged him. She helped him to revise and edit his novels. I think hardy was very clear that if ema hadn't encouraged him at that point, we would have lost one of the greatest writers in the english language. Thank you very much.
