Description
Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd is a novel about a young woman's journey in rural life. Bathsheba Everdene takes up her position as a farmer on Weatherbury, drawing three suitors who each challenge her decisions and complicate her life. As tragedy unfolds, it threatens the stability of the community. Hardy's first major literary success, this novel is set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex and explores themes of passion, courtship, and rural life. The complete novel, based on Hardy's original 1874 manuscript, restores its full candor and innovation. This edition features an introduction by Rosemarie Morgan, discussing the history of publication and the biblical and classical allusions that permeate the novel.
