Far From The Madding Crowd
Far from the Madding Crowd" was Thomas Hardys first major literary success and it edited with an introduction and notes by Rosemarie Morgan and Shannon Russell in "Penguin Classics". Independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each in contrasting ways unsettles her decisions and complicates her life and tragedy ensues threatening the stability of the whole community. The first of his works set in the fictional county of Wessex Hardys novel of swift passion and slow courtship is imbued with his evocative descriptions of rural life
and landscapes and with unflinching honesty about sexual relationships. This edition based on Hardys original 1874 manuscript is the complete novel he never saw published and restores its full candour and innovation. Rosemarie Morgans introduction discusses the history of its publication and the Biblical and Classical allusions that permeate the novel. Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) born Higher Brockhampton near Dorchester originally trained as an architect before earning his living as a writer. Though he saw himself primarily as a poet Hardy was the author of some of the late eighteenth centurys major novels: "The Mayor of Casterbridge" (1886) "Tess of the DUrbervilles" (1891) "Far from the Madding Crowd" (1874) and "Jude the Obscure" (1895). Amidst the
controversy caused by "Jude the Obscure" he turned to the poetry he had been writing all his life. In the next thirty years he published over nine hundred poems and his epic drama in verse "The Dynasts". If you enjoyed "Far from the Madding Crowd" you might also like Elizabeth Gaskells "Mary Barton". "Wonderful...a landscape which satisfies every stir of the imagination and which ravishes the senses". (Ronald Blythe)."
