[EAN: 9781330765012], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Wessex Worthies (Dorset) With Some Account of Others Connected With the History of the County, and Numerous Portraits and Illustrations In discussing the aim of this book with a Dorset Worthy of the first order and happily still amongst us - Thomas Hardy to wit - the question arose: What constitutes a Worthy? What are the qualifications required to entitle anyone to that name? It is a question not so easily answered. On the one hand it may be urged that if a certain person has not been born in a given locality, such an one cannot be described as belonging to it. A man born in Durham has no right to be termed a Dorset Worthy, no matter how worthy in other respects he may be. On the other hand it may be said that it is not so much having been born in a county or district, as having taken part in its life in some definite way, perhaps to the extent of modifying its history; or of having so identified oneself with its people as to have a just claim to be remembered by them. Take, for example, the case of Admiral Blake, born at Bridgwater in Somersetshire. It may have been fortuitous that Blake conducted the siege of Lyme Regis, but it proved to be an important thing for Lyme people, and associated him with them in a very intimate way. Thomas Fuller may be quoted as another instance; he was not born in Dorset, but living within its bounds for many years as rector of Broad Windsor, he became linked with the county by his interest and affection for it and its people. Again, Wordsworth wrote the Borderers at Racedown, where he lived for two or three years, but he cannot be said to have associated himself in any definite way with the life of the community there. Thus one does not associate Wordsworth with Dorset in any ordinary way, but one cannot think of Lyme Regis without remembering its history and the part which Admiral Blake played in it at a memorable time.
