One of the Wessex tales, this tells the story of the brooding, and sometimes brutal Michael Henchard and the women with whom he searches for happiness in the harsh world of 19th-century rural England.

Thomas Hardy was born in Dorset in 1840 and became an apprentice architect at the age of sixteen. He spent his twenties in London, where he wrote his first poems. In 1867 Hardy returned to his native Dorset, whose rugged landscape was a great source of inspiration for his writing. Between 1871 and 1897 he wrote fourteen novels, including Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure. This final work was received savagely; thereafter Hardy turned away from novels and spent the last thirty year of his life focusing on poetry. He died in 1928.

VG* Illustrations: None.* Pages: 412 pp. text. xxxvi pp. notes & index at rear.* Product Description:- This novel is one of Hardy?s most inspiring creations. It is about a common field laborer, Michael Henshard, who becomes a leader in this small market town and then ?through his own failure? sinks back miserably to his humble beginnings. As this tragic figure moves across the landscape of Hardy's native Dorset, descriptions of the countryside are as evocative as paintings by John Constable and as lively as scenes by Peter Brueghel. Not only does Hardy display extraordinary command of old dialects, but he also reveals deep understanding of the rural inhabitants of 18th-century Wessex.* This is a VG copy with minor shelf wear & light tanning. n.
