Synopsis

La passion sauvage mène à la tragédie, l'amour étant perverti par le mariage. Mais les préoccupations des mortels sont atténuées par la présence sombre et immémoriale d'Egdon Heath, peut-être la plus belle évocation de Hardy de son paysage natal. Le texte est accompagné d'une introduction critique.
