Description
Jude the Obscure, a novel by Thomas Hardy, tells the story of a young man's struggles with his place in society. After his hopes of a university education are dashed, Jude marries a woman who later abandons him, and he finds work as a stonemason in a town where he becomes embroiled in a complicated love affair with his cousin. Jude's desire for a life of his own is at odds with the conventions of his time, and he faces poverty and social ostracism as a result. This edition of the novel features the unbowdlerized text of the first volume edition of 1895, along with additional resources to help readers understand the novel's themes and historical context. For readers interested in exploring the works of Thomas Hardy, this edition of Jude the Obscure offers a unique opportunity to engage with one of the author's most challenging and thought-provoking novels.
