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.

Lloyd Siemans, 1993: "In addition, he coined over two hundred words and fabricated as many alliterative compounds (Hickson 12-27, 48-50)", writing in Victorian Review, vol. 19 no. 1, 1993, pp. 43-48. I don't have access, but if you're working for a moderately respectable college or university, you will have, not only to the Siemans, but to the Hickson.

I wonder how common the words are and how many are original, versus restored, after reading this (Farrell, UT Austin: laits.utexas.edu/farrell/documents/Hardy.pdf). You've probably already seen it, but just so you know what I'm referring to. Maybe some words are more common in BrE than in AmE.

I don't have access, but if you're working for a moderately respectable college or university, you will have, not only to the Siemans, but to the Hickson.
