Abstract
The paper studies Thomas Hardy’s delineation of the organic community of Wessex and the influence it has bad on the inhabitants of the region in his novels. Consequentially the disruption of the native lives with their encounters with their city counterparts. It also examines the social and intellectual milieu which necessitated such portrayal of the life of the region in literature.
