Description

Set against the backdrop of the unchanging natural cycle of the year, Far from the Madding Crowd tells the story of Bathsheba Everdene and her three suitors: Gabriel Oak, Sergeant Troy, and Farmer Boldwood. As she navigates their fates, Bathsheba discovers the consequences of an inconstant heart. This new edition of Hardy's novel restores previously deleted and revised passages, providing a more complete text. The story both upholds and questions rural values with a modern sensibility that has become characteristic of Hardy's work. Published by Oxford World's Classics, this affordable volume reflects the series' commitment to scholarship, offering an accurate text alongside expert introductions, helpful notes, and bibliographies for further study.
