“Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness.” British novelist Thomas Hardy’s popular novel, Far From the Madding Crowd was published anonymously in serialized form in The Cornhill Magazine in 1874 and in book form under Hardy’s name the same year. Set in Wessex, the story revolves around Bathsheba Everdene, the owner of a small farm, and her relationships with three suitors–the handsome and flighty soldier, Sergeant Troy whom Everdene marries; the obsessive farmer, William Boldwood; and the steadfast and loving shepherd, Gabriel Oak who eventually becomes Everdene’s second husband. Imbued with an authentic sense of place, the novel brings the pastoral setting of Wessex alive. Hardy manages to weave together strands of comedy, melodrama, and tragedy with consummate skill while tracing the trajectory of Everdene’s tempestuous life and loves. The novel’s sensitive exploration of the many shades of love–selfless, loyal, fleeting, abusive, darkly obsessive– has endeared itself to readers over the years. It has been adapted for both the stage and screen with phenomenal success.
 
 

About the Author

Born on 2 June 1840, Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and dramatist from Higher Bockhampton, Dorset, England. He was known for his genial nature and the ability to sensitively portray human sufferings and injustices in his works. Some of his major novels are Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) and Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891). Hardy was known for his regionalised plots that represented a rural way of life which was fast declining. He often challenged Victorian morality and was often sympathetic to the working classes in his novels. Today, he holds the unique distinction of being a renowned nineteenth century novelist and a twentieth century poet. He died aged 87.
