The Wessex of Thomas Hardy's Novels and Poems

Thomas Hardy's Map of imaginary places

In a lot of Thomas Hardy's literature, such as "On The Western Circuit", he describes beautiful landscapes of Wessex. He created this fictional place in order to make his own histories and stories within a place he created by his own hand. Perhaps Hardy produces his own work in a fictional place with fictional characters to give him a God-complex. He is able to manipulate the nature and characters he creates in Wessex.
