Description

Under the Greenwood Tree by Thomas Hardy is a charming and humorous novel that explores life in an early Victorian rural community. Set against the backdrop of a vanishing rural idyll, the story balances the concerns of a local parish choir with a romance between the village schoolmistress and a member of the choir. This edition features a new introduction by Phillip Mallett, which provides insight into the novel's portrayal of rural life and character, as well as its textual history and relation to elegy. The book also includes maps of Hardy's Wessex and the fictional setting of Mellstock, making it an ideal choice for those interested in exploring the author's works. With its rich historical background, expanded notes, and up-to-date bibliography, this edition offers a wealth of information for readers looking to delve deeper into Hardy's writing.
