Words originating with Thomas Hardy
I'm teaching a Thomas Hardy class and read somewhere that Hardy was the originator of over 100 common English words in use today. However, I can only find a list of a few. Does anyone know where I can find more? I don't have access to the OED, nor does my college or town library. And I have spent much time searching google.

The article Thomas Hardy’s lexical landscape in the Oxford Dictionaries Blog notes quite a few, with links to their entries in the online edition of the OED (such as the entry for Wessex). You can apparently browse the definitions with requiring a subscription.
A limited-time offer that you might wish to explore:
The Oxford English Dictionary is available by subscription to
institutions and individuals.
To celebrate the OED‘s 90th birthday, we are pleased to offer annual
individual OED subscriptions at a reduced rate of $90 in the US
(usually $295) or £90 for the Rest of the World (usually £215) for
annual subscriptions taken out between 1 April 2018 until 31 March
2019. For this annual rate, you’ll have full unrestricted access to the OED Online – including quarterly updates!
