HARDY, Thomas (1840-1928). Autograph letter signed to his friend, the essayist Agnes Geraldine, Lady Grove, Max Gate, 13 November 1908, 3 pages, 8vo , bifolium (some browning to first page). SUPPORT FOR WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE. Hardy thanks Lady Grove for a copy of her work The Human Woman : 'I ... can only say that the whole is really a series of brilliant & able essays, which all who favour woman suffrage should be grateful for. I, of course, who have long held that in justice women should have votes ... have not needed convincing'; after commenting that 'perhaps it is as well' that women do not realise the ultimate effect of their gaining the vote, Hardy goes on 'the practical side of your book is not quite my department. It is more in my way to dwell upon the humour & vivacity of it as literature'. He is confined to the house with a sore throat, but hopes to see her soon. Geraldine, Lady Grove (1863-1926) 'corresponded with Hardy from 1895-1901, during which time they formed a pupil-mentor relationship' (ODNB). Hardy's late poem 'Concerning Agnes', written after her death, remembers their first meeting, 'I am stopped from hoping what I have hoped before -- Yes many a time! -- /To dance with that fair woman yet once more ...'.
