Thomas Hardy's Secret Muse

There can be few of us who haven't been struck at one time or another by how much the titles of Thomas Hardy's novels sound like the names of sex aids from a Victorian dildo catalogue. Here, at last, I have attempted to do justice to this conceit.

1 The Well-beloved
2 The Trumpet Major
3 The Woodlanders
4 The Hand of Ethelberta
5 The Mayor of Casterbridge
6 Jude the Obscure
